Blackline Serving Boards

The boards undergo a natural reactive dyeing process that interacts with the tannins in the white oak to darken the wood. This method avoids synthetic pigments, resulting in a rich, deep hue that is entirely food-safe.

Yes, the wood is finished with a food-safe treatment that is designed to develop a unique patina over time. Regular use and proper care will enhance the board's character, making it look better the more it is used.

No, these boards are not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the wood and the finish, they should be hand-washed only and dried immediately.

While they are durable enough for light cutting, they are designed primarily as functional serving platters. Using them for heavy-duty chopping may accelerate wear on the finish.

Because the reactive dyeing process relies on the natural properties of the wood, slight variations in color are expected. Each piece is unique, and you should anticipate subtle differences in tone and grain pattern.

Clean the board by hand-washing with mild soap and warm water, then towel dry immediately. Avoid soaking the board or using harsh chemicals, and consider applying a food-grade mineral oil periodically to keep the wood hydrated.
