Know before you buy
Spalted maple is wood that has begun a natural decay process, resulting in unique, dark, web-like patterns called spalting. This gives each board a one-of-a-kind aesthetic while maintaining the structural integrity needed for a functional kitchen tool.
Yes, the entire board, including the soy-stained edge, is finished with food-contact-safe materials. It is perfectly safe to use for serving cheeses, breads, and other food items.
Hand wash the board with mild soap and warm water, then dry it immediately with a towel. Avoid soaking it or putting it in the dishwasher, and periodically apply a food-grade mineral oil or wood conditioner to keep the maple hydrated and prevent cracking.
While it is durable enough for light slicing and prep work, its 12-inch by 6-inch size and decorative oval shape make it better suited for charcuterie, cheese service, or light kitchen tasks rather than heavy-duty, daily chopping.
Because each board is handcrafted from sustainably sourced, upcycled wood, the grain patterns and spalting will vary significantly from piece to piece. You should expect your board to have its own unique character and color variations.
