The Totally Bamboo Tree of Life Cutting Board and Tree of Life Salt Box are each made using high-quality and eco-friendly bamboo. On the surface of each are small animal icons etched around in a circle, giving the appearance of tree rings. This neat effect makes this collection a unique treasure.

Bamboo, a sustainable resource, is used to make both the board and salt box.  The bamboo is incredibly light, durable, and refined looking. Since bamboo grows back extremely quickly and serves the same purpose as hardwoods, it is a much better choice for kitchenware. The company even makes a donation to the National Forest Foundation for every board purchased, making this a truly eco-friendly choice.

The fascinating and detailed appearance of this board is what makes it so special. Starting in the center of the board and wrapping around the whole board are small, laser-etched images of animals. All of the animals are exotic or extinct which also ties into the tree of life theme. When you look at the board from afar it gives the illusion of a tree stump. I think it is best to use the board to serve rather than prep food since a knife could ruin the surface over a long period of time. 

The salt box is a fun complement the board and I love using them both to serve my favorite appetizers and eats at a dinner party. It has a similar design with etched animals creating the tree illusion. I really like that it has a magnetic closure. This keeps your salt or herbs fresh for longer. 

This set is both practical and beautiful, making it the perfect gift. I think it would be great to bring to a party filled with appetizers, and at the end of the night gift it to the host.
