Know before you buy
Yes, maple is an excellent choice. It is a dense, closed-grain hardwood that is gentle on knife edges while being durable enough to withstand daily chopping and slicing.
To keep the wood from drying out or cracking, periodically apply a food-grade mineral oil or wood conditioner. Hand wash the board with mild soap and water, and avoid soaking it or putting it in the dishwasher.
Yes, the integrated groove runs along the perimeter of the board to catch liquids from fruits, vegetables, or meats. It effectively prevents juices from running off the edge and onto your countertops.
While the board features a juice groove on one side, the reverse side is flat and smooth. This makes it ideal for tasks that don't require liquid containment, such as chopping herbs or prepping dry ingredients.
The round hole is designed to accommodate most standard kitchen hooks or wall-mounted racks. It is a practical feature for those who prefer to store their boards vertically to save counter space.
