Know before you buy
End-grain construction is highly durable because the wood fibers are oriented vertically. This allows the board to be self-healing, as the knife blade slips between the fibers rather than cutting through them, which helps the board resist deep marks and keeps your knives sharper for longer.
While the board is durable enough for general prep, its 9" x 6" size is best suited for light tasks like slicing cheese, fruit, or small appetizers. It is designed primarily as a versatile serving piece rather than a large-scale butcher block.
To preserve the wood, hand wash the board with mild soap and water, then wipe it dry immediately. Avoid soaking it or putting it in the dishwasher, as excess moisture can cause the wood to warp or crack.
Yes, each board is hand-sanded and finished with a food-safe mineral oil. This treatment protects the wood and highlights its natural grain, though you should periodically re-apply food-grade mineral oil to keep the wood hydrated and prevent it from drying out over time.
The paddle handle is designed to provide a comfortable grip, making it easy to carry the board from the kitchen to the table. It also features a slim profile that makes the board easy to store or hang as a decorative element in your kitchen.
