Know before you buy
Yes, the board is finished with food-grade mineral oil, making it safe for food preparation. We recommend periodically reapplying food-safe mineral oil to keep the wood conditioned and protected.
Hand wash the board with mild soap and warm water, then dry it immediately. Never soak the board or put it in the dishwasher, as the moisture can cause the wood to warp or crack.
The board is constructed from sturdy, retired bourbon barrel staves, making it durable enough for everyday food prep. However, as with any natural wood product, heavy knife work will leave surface marks over time, which adds to the rustic character of the piece.
Yes, while the board is crafted from authentic barrel staves, it is designed with a stable, flat surface suitable for both chopping and serving. Its 15-inch square dimensions provide ample space for prep work or charcuterie displays.
Because this product is branded with the Pappy Van Winkle name and associated with bourbon heritage, the manufacturer requires age verification upon delivery to ensure compliance with alcohol-related brand policies.
