Know before you buy
Yes, the ebonized finish is designed for food presentation. It is safe for serving items like cheeses, crudités, and appetizers directly on the surface.
To preserve the wood, wipe the board clean with a soft, damp cloth after use. Avoid soaking it in water or placing it in the dishwasher, as this can cause the wood to warp or the finish to degrade.
Yes, each Tondo serving board is carved from a single block of solid acacia wood. This construction method ensures greater durability and a seamless, sculptural aesthetic.
While the board is durable, the ebonized finish is primarily intended for serving and display. Using sharp knives directly on the surface will likely scratch the finish and mar the wood's appearance over time.
The integrated handle is designed to provide a secure grip, making it easy to transport the board from the kitchen to the dining table. Because it is carved from a single piece of wood, the handle is sturdy and well-balanced.
