This is a beautifully crafted bread board.  It is a gorgeous light maple wood, very smooth, well made and fits nicely over my island countertop and my regular countertops.  It is reversible, so that I can dedicate one side for pastry and bread making only.  It is a very generous size and nice an heavy to stay in place even with the most vigorous kneading of dough.  I’m very happy with it and would recommend this to serious bakers.
