Cut from a solid section of bamboo, this simple design creates a functional utensil holder that is very attractive due to the inherently beautiful character of bamboo. The sizes are: Small 4" x 6 1/2", Medium 4 1/2" x 6", and Large 5 1/2" x 6 1/2". Unlike most other hardwoods, bamboo absorbs very little moisture. As a result, it does not shrink or swell as much making it a superior choice of material for cutting boards and kitchen accessories. No artificial dyes or stains are used in the bamboo. The color is permanent and will not wash off. Bamboo is actually a grass with an extensive root system that continually sends out new shoots, making it one of the most renewable resources known. Bamboo is a sustainable, cost effective, and ecologically responsible alternative to the widespread clearcutting of our old growth forests.
