Description

With a rich, solid grain structure, Jatobá is the ideal surface for your master grade kitchen knives. Properly maintained, this chopping board should outlast every other tool in your kitchen.
Chuck and his son Richard are both proud citizens of the Cherokee Nation and it’s their passion for this heritage, their commitment to quality, and their passion for food that drives them to make the perfect chopping board.
possibly the best pure-wood chopping board in the world
We have tested every wood chopping board surface imaginable. More common choices like Acacia and Bamboo have their virtues, but we have found few wood varieties that offer the combination of strength, density, and breathability of Central American Jatobá. We believe that it is simply among the best chopping board materials on Earth.
Ecological sustainability is a core value of Huffman Woodworks. Therefore we only utilize Jatobá harvested from Forest Stewardship Council-certified sustainable forests. Jatobá’s density ensures that your board is surprisingly heavy; a feature that helps provide stability on a slippery kitchen counter. Jatobá’s unique cellular structure also helps create the most beautiful feature of the wood; the occasional tell-tale spindly fissures that randomly form throughout the wood and are only visible when viewing end-grain stock.
Jatobá is a very challenging wood to work with; cutting and sanding Jatobá typically takes four times as long as with other hardwoods. But we won’t compromise. It’s among the best chopping board wood in the world, therefore we use it.
