Know before you buy
The reversible design allows you to use one side for heavy-duty carving, thanks to the integrated juice groove that catches liquids, while the smooth, flat side is perfect for serving charcuterie, cheeses, or pizzas without any grooves interfering with your presentation.
This board must be hand-washed only; never submerge it in water or place it in the dishwasher, as this can cause the wood to warp or crack. To maintain the finish, you should periodically apply food-grade mineral oil to keep the maple hydrated and protected.
The small board measures 17.5”L x 12”W, which is ideal for smaller cuts of meat or intimate gatherings. The large board measures 19.5”L x 14”W, offering more surface area for larger roasts or expansive grazing spreads.
Yes, the board is constructed from a single piece of maple wood. This one-piece construction enhances the board's durability and provides a seamless, high-quality aesthetic.
Yes, each board is finished with food-grade oil before it reaches you. This ensures the wood is protected and ready for immediate use, though you will need to continue oiling it periodically as part of your regular maintenance routine.
