GIF Wikipedia Large "Life by Mike G" Board "lite". This is a design which I refer to as a "Life by Mike G" board "lite" board because it is made with similar woods as the original Pro Home Cooks board with the addition of Maple to lighten up the design. The wood on the edges is padauk, which is reddish orange in color. The light wood is maple, the next layer is zebrawood, and the center wood is wenge, which is the darkest. The dimensions are 19" x 11" and a little more than 1" thick. There are rubber feet on the bottom to prevent slippage on a counter top. The board is finished with several coats of a food safe mineral oil.
