A reverence for nature developed on the Kansas homestead of his Cherokee Nation grandmother Tinsey Victory. A hard-won commitment to detail earned from his 20 years of service as a US Army bomb disposal technician. Chuck Huffman, and his son Richard, master woodworkers both, make what are possibly the best pure-wood chopping boards in the world, by hand, one at a time.

Made in the USA in Stanwood, Washington.

University of California at Davis’ Dean O. Cliver Ph.D., called “the de facto godfather of cutting board food safety” by North Carolina State University, compared plastic and hardwood cutting boards.

“We soon found that disease bacteria such as these were not recoverable from wooden surfaces in a short time after they were applied, unless very large numbers were used. New plastic surfaces allowed the bacteria to persist, but were easily cleaned and disinfected. However, wooden boards that had been used and had many knife cuts acted almost the same as new wood, whereas plastic surfaces that were knife-scarred were impossible to clean and disinfect manually,”
