Know before you buy
Because this board is not dishwasher safe, you should hand wash it with mild soap and warm water, then dry it immediately. To maintain the wood's integrity and appearance, apply a food-safe mineral oil periodically.
While the board is durable enough for serving, the engraved salmon artwork and distressed finish are decorative. Using sharp knives directly on the engraving may dull your blades and damage the artwork over time.
The heirloom distressed finish is designed to provide an aged, rustic aesthetic rather than a perfectly smooth surface. While it has a textured feel, it is finished to be safe for food contact and serving.
No, this plank is not oven or microwave safe. You should only place food on the board once it has cooled to a safe serving temperature.
This piece is specifically designed as a serving vessel rather than a utility cutting board. Its long, rectangular shape and artistic engraving by Laura Zindel are intended to elevate your presentation for charcuterie and appetizers.
