Know before you buy
No, this board is strictly designed for serving dry food items only. Moisture or oils may damage the wood finish over time.
Wipe the board clean with a soft, dry cloth after use. Avoid submerging it in water or using harsh cleaning agents, as these can compromise the water-based varnish.
Because each piece is meticulously hand-carved by artisans, there will be subtle variations in the wood grain and texture. This ensures that every board is a unique, one-of-a-kind item.
The board measures 16 inches wide, 8.5 inches deep, and 2 inches in height. It is compact enough for small table settings while providing ample space for appetizers or snacks.
The board is crafted from black-tainted mahogany, meaning the dark pigment is integrated into the wood rather than sitting on top as a thick layer of paint. This allows the natural character of the wood to remain visible.
