Know before you buy
While the wavy edge adds texture, it does not significantly impact cleaning. Simply wipe it down with a damp cloth and mild soap, ensuring you dry it thoroughly to maintain the integrity of the hickory wood.
At 10 inches in diameter, the board is substantial and stable, but it remains manageable for daily use. The 1.5-inch thickness provides a solid, professional-grade weight that prevents the board from sliding while you chop.
To keep the dark hickory looking its best and prevent the wood from drying out, apply a food-grade mineral oil or butcher block wax every one to three months, depending on how frequently you use it.
Yes, the board is designed for both. Its artisanal wavy edge and rich dark hickory finish make it an excellent serving piece for charcuterie, cheeses, or appetizers when you aren't using it for prep work.
Hickory is an excellent choice for a cutting board because it is exceptionally hard and durable. It holds up well against knife marks and provides a sturdy surface that will last for years with proper care.
