Abstract
A cutting board has an improved footing system that supports the cutting surfaces off the counter with removable footings inserted into openings at the corners of the board. The inserts have enlarged ends at each side of the board that elevate the board and prevent the inserts from separating from the board inadvertently. The foot inserts can be inserted straight into each preferably circular opening in which case one of the ends is compressed and passed through the opening for insertion or removal. Alternatively, the footings can also be slid into openings, formed as open-ended slots at the edge of the board, in which case the openings define a narrowed neck that interferes with a slightly wider section of the foot insert to reduce unintended separation. A grid pattern can be formed on either or both cutting surfaces using a suitable surface impression technique.
