Know before you buy
No, this board is not reversible. It features wooden bun feet on the bottom to elevate it, which makes it intended for use on one side only.
No, this board is not dishwasher safe. To prevent warping or cracking, you should hand wash it with mild soap and water, then dry it thoroughly immediately after cleaning.
No, this model does not include a juice groove. It is designed with a flat surface, making it better suited for dry prep work or serving items like cheese, bread, and charcuterie.
Since the board arrives with a beeswax finish, you should periodically apply a food-safe mineral oil or a specialized wood cream to keep the walnut hydrated and prevent it from drying out or cracking.
The bun feet are a permanent design feature intended to provide stability and protect your countertops. They are not designed to be removed.
