Rock-Inspired Chopping Blocks

These Kitchen Cutting Boards are Take on the Shape of River Rocks

Consumers seeking to add a natural aesthetic to their home might be interested in the River Rock kitchen cutting board designs. The wood used in the chopping block is creatively shaped and smoothed down to look like rocks one might find at the base of a river bed, and they can easily be stacked for sculptural presentation.

The River Rock cutting boards are a design put together by retailer Love Lynsey that is designed for kitchen prep as well as presentational use. The set comes with four asymmetrical blocks with rounded corners. Each plank is made from a different type of wood ranging from light walnut to a red hickory creating a tonal gradient as the planks shift in size and shape. These would be ideal to use in the kitchen as well as to serve food to guests.
