Know before you buy
Yes, the tray is finished with linseed oil and is safe for direct food contact. It works perfectly for charcuterie, cheese, or hors d'oeuvres.
No, each tray is unique. Because they are crafted from salvaged bourbon barrel heads, you should expect natural variations in the wood grain, color, and authentic barrel stamps.
The tray features solid iron handles that are securely attached, making it easy to carry. While the weight varies slightly due to the natural wood, the 21-inch diameter provides a substantial and stable base for serving.
Wipe the tray clean with a damp cloth after use. To maintain the luster of the wood and protect the finish, you can occasionally apply a food-safe wood oil or wax.
The raised edges are designed to keep items secure, but they do not significantly limit the usable surface area. With a 21-inch diameter, there is plenty of room to arrange multiple bowls or a large serving board.
