I have a BIG wooden block (offcut from Damo's kitchen) that I squared up, rounded the edges, sanded and oiled. That sits on the worktop next to the stove. But, I don't like cutting on it as it's a fucker to heave about and clean. I use it to put other chopping boards onto (one of which being an off cut from Dammit's kitchen). Ms_com and any guests who happen to be cooking here end up chopping on the big block and my heart dies a little.
Chopping boards that won't be chopped on. Wasn't sure what else to really call them, other than 'slab of thing that you use to put on the worktop to put other things on that you don't want to go directly on the worktop but which looks like the worktop' and that's rather wordy.
