Ash and sapele heartwood board in an AI-staged kitchen. The board is the real one.
The kitchen is AI-staged. The board is the real one: every photo of it, as taken, is below.

Ash and sapele heartwood board

Pale ash heartwood against dark sapele heartwood. Heartwood is the innermost part of the tree, which makes it the oldest part, so it's denser and has a grain the rest of the tree doesn't.

Size
35 × 32 cm, 3 cm thick
Weight
about 2 kg
Wood
ash heartwood and sapele heartwood, from offcuts
Finish
mineral oil (food safe)
Feet
4 rubber pads

Living with it

Rinse it, wipe it with a sponge, dry off the water, then let it air dry standing on its feet. Don't leave it soaking or in direct sun: wood is still alive and can warp.

If it starts to look dull, rub in a little of any food-safe oil you have (olive, sunflower) with a lint-free cloth. Sticky means too much oil. Wipe the extra off with kitchen towel.
