Plastic boards shed microplastics into food every time a knife crosses them - a peer-reviewed 2023 study put it in the tens of millions of particles a year. Solid wood doesn't. Every board here is one material: walnut, teak, acacia, beech or ebony, nothing bonded, nothing to shed. The end grain boards go further - the wood fibres close behind the blade, so the surface heals rather than scars, and your knife stays sharper for it.
