Hardwood Cutting Board : The Chef's Medallion


Cutting boards serve useful functions, of protecting tables and cabinet tops, and giving a nice surface for knife blades and providing more counter space. The Catskill Craftsmen Chef's Medallion Hardwood Cutting Board includes easy care instructions, such as careful rinsing after cleaning in soapy water, and regular application of mineral oil to protect the wood. While much of their work is done in the USA, this particular cutting board is from Vietnam.

The company produces a complete line of cutting boards, in traditional and specialized shapes, including a guitar and the State of Texas.

Many of the cutting boards have rounded corners and border "trenches" to keep liquids from running onto counters and tables.

Other items include work benches, kitchen islands, cupboards, tables, and wooden kitchen tools. There is an additional section on ways to care and clean the products.

The company, located in the Catskill Mountains, makes efforts for a "green" business:
According to the company website:
"Lumber is purchased from area sawmills, then dried, manufactured, and packaged on site. All sawdust, shavings and waste materials generated during the manufacturing process is converted into wood pellet fuel, and used to heat homes. We are proud to say, "Our operations generate no wood waste."
