Chopping Block

Chopping Block (jum baahn)
A smooth-surfaced tree cross section, 12 to 15 inches in
diameter and 6 to 8 inches thick. It is used for heavy chopping, mincing, and boning, and gets constant use.

A chopping block should never be soaked in water. It should be wiped clean with a wet sponge using disinfectant or if very dirty rubbed with steel wool then wiped with the damp sponge.
