Know before you buy
End-grain construction is highly durable and self-healing, meaning the wood fibers close back up after being cut. This helps the board resist deep knife marks and keeps your blades sharper for longer compared to edge-grain boards.
This board must be hand-washed with mild soap and warm water; it should never be placed in the dishwasher, as the heat and moisture can cause the wood to warp or crack. Periodically re-apply a food-safe cutting board oil to keep the wood hydrated and protected.
Measuring 12 inches by 9 inches, this board is perfectly sized for an intimate cheese and charcuterie display. It works best as a centerpiece for smaller gatherings or as a dedicated serving piece for appetizers.
The board is treated with a durable, food-safe oil finish that provides a protective barrier against stains. While it is stain-resistant, it is still best practice to wipe away spills promptly to maintain the wood's natural finish.
Hard rock maple is a premium choice due to its tight grain structure and exceptional density. It is incredibly resilient, making it an ideal surface for both heavy-duty prep work and elegant serving.
