Know before you buy
End-grain construction allows the wood fibers to part when your knife blade makes contact, rather than resisting it. This prevents the blade from dulling quickly and helps the wood 'self-heal' from deep cuts over time.
To keep the wood hydrated and prevent cracking, apply a food-grade mineral oil or butcher block conditioner every few weeks. Simply wipe it on, let it soak in, and buff away any excess.
Yes, the 2-inch thickness provides a sturdy, stable surface that won't slide or warp during heavy prep work. Its solid Black Walnut construction is designed to handle daily use while remaining gentle on your cutlery.
The integrated feet elevate the board slightly, which makes it easier to pick up from your countertop. They also promote airflow underneath the board, which helps prevent moisture buildup and warping.
Yes, the board is finished with food-grade oil and is completely food contact safe. It is suitable for everything from slicing citrus for cocktails to prepping vegetables and cooked meats.
