THIS is the THICKEST and HEAVIEST paddle board I have.  That's why it costs just a tad bit more.

The thing that sets our Primitive boards apart is the FINISH.  It's not a "dull wood" finish.  We have a special bees wax aging finish that we apply to all of our bowls.  It takes an already distressed bowl and makes it look OLD and WARM and very primitive. 

And it STAYS that way for the life of the board.  It is smooth to the touch and it is beautiful.  

They hand carve these boards in Mexico out of whatever wood they have available at the time (usually Pine).  NO two are ever exactly alike and while none of them are "perfect" (warps, splits, twists etc) they're all very primitive and make WONDERFUL wall hang accent pieces.  

I drilled a hole in the handle and tied a loop of leather so that it is now perfect as a primitive kitchen (or elsewhere) wall hang!  

These are NOT be suitable for displaying raw foods (like cheese, bread, etc) because the moisture in foods would eventually wear away the wax finish. They're also not suitable for use as cutting boards because (again) they've not been prepped (they haven't been cleaned to THAT extent) or planed (they wouldn't lay perfectly flat) for that kind of use.  That's why we add a leather hanger and sell them as primitive decor wall hangs. 

This one measures 25 5/8 inches long, 7 3/4 inches wide and it is a full ONE INCH THICK!.  It weighs just shy of THREE Pounds!
