Old Yankee Cutting Boards
Not too long ago I took someone shooting, a few days of lessons you might say. (And that individual is now an outstanding shot!) So the other day the UPS guy knocks on my door and there's a huge package with my name on it. I had not ordered anything and was curious as to what it might be. This is what was inside the package.
"Warning do not view the pictures if you suffer from cutting board envy." That knife is a 10 inch chef knife, it's overall length is 15 1/2 inches. It's looks puny compared to the cutting board!
The board is made by Dean Felides it's a Old Yankee ProSeries Board. http://oldyankeecuttingboards.com/store/
I need to take more people shooting!!!

I love the zebra stripes....beautiful wood!
Dean Felides is a great American craftsman, of the old style...focused on quality, consistency and excellent customer service.
So are you, Team Sergeant...I'm sure your students realize the quality of your shooting instruction just can't be found at the local range.

We spent some pleasant hours with him at SHOT. As Orion5 says - great craftsman and all around good guy. Now if we could just convince him to relocate to the Carolinas, it would be perfect.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

Why not, he already has an anchor (Grand)baby here.
If he pans out, we might even let him stay in Dixie.

Oooh, that's a beautiful board. I do have cutting board envy. 
The size is perfect and reminds me of my favorite board - a hefty good-sized one given to us by Michael Chiarello as a wedding gift. It's seen 16 years of hard labor and is the perfect board for nearly any job in my kitchen.
Yours, TS, is a work of art. It's almost too pretty to use.
