Leather-Look Challah Board with Glass Top, Design #680, 16x11

An antique leather look sits beneath the glass on design #680. The grain reads deep and slightly weathered, closer to a worn sefer binding than to anything decorative, and because it is sealed under a clear top it will stay that way — leather-look material on an exposed board would scuff and shine at the contact points within a year.

Sixteen by eleven inches is the surface. That is two full challos across, the knife alongside, and border enough that the cover does not slide. The glass takes the cutting, the salt and the seeds and gives all of it back to a damp cloth in one pass, which is what makes a board with this much material under it practical for weekly use.

This is the board people buy as a chosson gift. It reads masculine, it is substantial in the hand, and the #680 design carries across to challah covers, matzah covers and haggadah covers — so a young couple can build the rest of the table around a piece they were given rather than starting from nothing.
