Know before you buy
End-grain construction allows the wood fibers to part when your knife blade makes contact, rather than resisting it. This helps keep your knife edges sharper for longer compared to edge-grain or plastic boards.
To keep the maple from drying out or cracking, you should regularly apply a food-safe mineral oil or board cream. Avoid soaking the board in water or putting it in the dishwasher, as excess moisture can cause the wood to warp.
Yes, at 22 pounds and 3 inches thick, this block is substantial and stable. Its weight ensures it won't slide around your countertop during heavy-duty prep work.
Yes, the board is fully reversible. You can use one side for daily prep and the other for serving or display, which also helps ensure even wear over time.
Because this board is made from natural Northern Hard Rock Maple, each piece features unique variations in grain and color tones. You can expect a beautiful, one-of-a-kind pattern that may differ slightly from the images shown.
