Know before you buy
No, the juice groove is integrated into only one side of the board. The other side is completely flat, providing a smooth, uninterrupted surface for tasks like kneading dough or prepping vegetables.
To keep the Northern Hard Rock Maple in top condition, you should periodically apply a food-grade mineral oil or a specialized wood cream. This prevents the wood from drying out and helps maintain its moisture resistance.
Yes, the board is fully reversible. You can use the grooved side for carving meats or juicy fruits, and flip it over to the flat side for general chopping and prep work.
No, this board should never be placed in a dishwasher. High heat and excessive water exposure will cause the wood to warp or crack; instead, hand wash it with mild soap and water and dry it immediately.
Edge grain construction uses strips of wood glued together so the side grain is facing up. This creates a very stable, durable surface that is gentle on your knife blades while being strong enough to withstand heavy daily use.
Yes, the recessed grips are carved into the ends of the board to provide a secure hold. Given the 12-pound weight of the board, these grips are essential for lifting it safely from your countertop to the sink.
