Solid wood chopping boards have several advantages over alternative materials (such as plastic):

 

1.    The first and most obvious of course is aesthetics.

The beauty of natural wood complements and enhances any kitchen. A natural wood chopping board is a feature in its own right.

 

2.    Wooden chopping boards have a lower impact on knives compared to their synthetic counterparts.

Although knives are typically made from steel (and steel seems like a robust material), high quality knives are hardened and ground to a fine cutting edge. This combination of hardness and fineness makes the cutting edge relatively brittle and vulnerable to damage. The natural construction of wood supports lower risk of damage to this delicate cutting edge.

 

3.    Natural Anti-Bacterial properties of wood.

There have been multiple studies which demonstrate the natural anti-bacterial properties of wood. A Google search will yield multiple articles with the same findings.

 

Wood is a natural product and please be aware that every product is unique. The wood tone and grain will naturally vary from product to product.
