Sweetgum varies from palest white to deepest auburn with carefree abandon, and Gum Creek incorporates this natural diversity into each unique, beautiful cutting board. Sweetgum wood might dance all over the color spectrum, but its lightness as far as weight is constant, as is its natural satiny feel, making for a quality cutting board. Edge grain is a harder cut, but it also stresses knives more than end grain. Dimensions 15 × 24 × 1.5 in.
