Walnut wood isn’t just durable and shock resistant, however, as it also is self healing which is particularly beneficial for cutting boards and those that use them. With cheaper wood and plastic cutting boards, the common mistake of cutting in the same spot daily leads to deep grooves in the board that trap food particles and contaminate all food cut on the board moving forward. However, with a self healing board, these grooves repair themselves over time and ensure a safer kitchen prep experience without the risk of food poisoning or foodborne illness.
Walnut wood is also sustainable to grow, produce, manufacture, and use for countless wood projects alike. This is why this wood can be seen in hardwood flooring, construction, car interiors, gun stocks, guitar bodies, cabinets, veneers, countertops, and various other wood items including cutting boards. This is also why many people use this wood as an alternative to less sustainable woods as well. That’s why walnut wood is not only considered incredibly beautiful and strong but eco-friendly, long-lasting, and cost-effective likewise making it the perfect wood for cutting boards guaranteed.
