Know before you buy
Yes, cherry is a hardwood with a closed grain, making it an excellent choice for cutting boards. It is gentle on knife edges while remaining sturdy enough to withstand regular food preparation.
To keep the wood from drying out, periodically apply a food-grade mineral oil or beeswax conditioner. Avoid soaking the board in water or putting it in the dishwasher, as this can cause the wood to warp or crack.
The chiseled edge is primarily a design feature intended to add texture and character to the board. You should use the flat, smooth surface for all your actual chopping and slicing tasks.
Not at all. The board is crafted from a solid, one-piece construction that is 2 inches thick, providing plenty of structural integrity around the handle-hole for easy lifting and storage.
Absolutely. At 23 inches long, this board is specifically designed to match the size of Deep South Mercantile’s serving platters, making it an ideal choice for presenting charcuterie or appetizers to guests.
