Wood boards of superior quality and related hand workmanship, which are well cared for by their purchaser/owners will steadily increase in value--making them the sought after heirloom articles of the future.
Rare trees like Arbutus, Mesquite, Olive wood and Big Leaf Maple are all hot commodities in related wood chopping/pastry and/or serving boards.
In my experience--the bigger I can get them, then better!
