Know before you buy
To maintain the wood's integrity, apply a food-safe mineral oil or board wax periodically whenever the wood begins to look dry or dull. This prevents the walnut from cracking and helps maintain its natural luster.
Yes, the handle is designed as a functional slot that provides a secure grip. It allows you to easily lift and transport the board from your countertop to the table for serving.
Yes, both sides of the board are finished and functional. You can use one side for heavy prep work and the other for serving charcuterie or appetizers.
Hand wash the board with warm water and mild soap, then dry it immediately with a towel. Never soak the board or put it in the dishwasher, as the heat and moisture can cause the wood to warp or split.
While the shape is unique, its 14.25" x 17.25" footprint is standard for a large cutting board. It stores easily on its side in a cabinet or can be left out on your counter as a decorative kitchen accent.
