Know before you buy
Yes, hard rock maple is an excellent choice for cutting boards because it is durable and gentle on knife edges. However, regular use will result in knife marks, which contribute to the board's natural, lived-in character over time.
This board is not dishwasher safe. To clean, hand wash with mild soap and warm water, then dry immediately. We recommend periodically applying a food-grade mineral oil or wood conditioner to keep the maple hydrated and prevent cracking.
No. Because each board is crafted from natural hard rock maple, you should expect unique variations in grain patterns and color tones. This ensures that your specific board is one-of-a-kind.
No, this board is not heat-resistant and should not be placed in an oven or microwave. It is intended strictly for food preparation and serving.
No, this board features a flat base without rubber feet or non-slip grips. If you are using it on a slick countertop, you may want to place a damp paper towel or a silicone mat underneath to keep it stable while cutting.
