Know before you buy
This serving board measures 8 inches in diameter, making it an ideal size for individual cheese portions, small appetizer spreads, or a selection of fresh fruit.
No, the board should never be placed in the dishwasher. To preserve the integrity of the maple wood, hand wash it and dry it immediately after use.
To keep the maple wood looking its best, you should periodically apply food-grade mineral oil. This helps prevent the wood from drying out and maintains its natural charm.
While the durable maple construction is high-quality, it is primarily designed as a serving piece. Using it for heavy-duty chopping may leave knife marks on the finish.
Each piece is artisan-crafted in Vermont, reflecting the brand's commitment to quality wood craftsmanship.
