Acacia is one of the harder hardwoods available for kitchen use, dense enough to resist scoring and gentle enough not to blunt your knives. The same board works just as well on the table for cheese, charcuterie or bread, so you're not carrying two pieces of kit for the same job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAcacia Wood Construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcacia is a dense, close-grained hardwood that holds up well under daily use.
