A tribute to Texas independence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis distinctive 18 × 12-inch cutting board features the historic Goliad Flag—also known as the “Bloody Arm” flag—created as a genuine contrasting-hardwood inlay. The image is not printed, painted, or simply engraved into the surface. Separate pieces of hardwood are precisely fitted into the end-grain board, creating permanent artwork that becomes part of the board itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe design depicts a severed, bloody arm holding a sword, one of the most striking symbols associated with the Texas Revolution. Designed by Captain Philip Dimmitt, the flag was raised at Presidio La Bahía in Goliad on December 20, 1835, in honor of the signing of the Goliad Declaration of Independence. Its bold imagery represented defiance, sacrifice, and the determination to fight for freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe board is thoughtfully designed with two functional sides. One side displays the detailed Goliad Flag inlay and can be used for presentation or display. The opposite side is the primary cutting and carving surface and includes a routed juice groove to help collect liquids. Placing the juice groove on the reverse side allows the board to be used while helping protect the historic inlay artwork from knife marks and everyday cutting wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntegrated handle grooves are routed into both sides, making the solid board easier to lift, carry, turn over, and serve from.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHandcrafted end-grain hardwood construction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGenuine contrasting-hardwood inlay\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHistoric Goliad “Bloody Arm” Flag design\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArtwork is inlaid into the wood—not printed, painted, or surface-applied\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDedicated display and presentation side featuring the inlay\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReverse cutting and carving side with routed juice groove\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHandle grooves on both sides for easier lifting\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeasures 18 inches long × 12 inches wide\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach board has its own natural grain patterns and color variations\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo-Sided Design\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe inlay side is designed to showcase the craftsmanship and historic Texas artwork.
