Here is the finished package! The large 21x14.5x2" solid cherry end grain cutting board, a custom made maple stand and a 4oz container of home made board butter. The cherry and maple were both sourced locally from a small mill in Hebron and the bees wax is from a backyard hive in Cedar Lake. All 3 items were made by myself here in NWI. The price will be $215 for the entire package and this one will end up at Market 102 hopefully today or tomorrow!

Something new from Motley Grain — handmade cutting boards.

This one is a 21" × 14.75" × 2" solid cherry end-grain cutting board, handmade by me from locally sourced cherry purchased from a small mill in Hebron, Indiana.

The board is finished with our own Motley Grain Board Butter, made with food-grade mineral oil and beeswax sourced from a small backyard hive in Cedar Lake, Indiana.

This is a substantial board — large, thick, and heavy. It features rubber feet for stability and a chamfered underside to make it easier to pick up and handle.

$200

Includes a 4 oz tin of Motley Grain Board Butter, an $8 value.
