Know before you buy
Edge-grain construction uses wood strips turned on their side, which creates a durable surface that is resistant to deep cuts and warping. This method provides a sturdy, reliable foundation for daily chopping and slicing tasks.
No, this board is non-reversible. It features integrated rubber feet on the bottom to provide a stable, non-slip surface, which means only the top side is intended for food preparation and serving.
To keep the wood hydrated and protected, you should periodically apply a food-safe mineral oil or board cream. This prevents the wood from drying out or cracking over time and helps maintain its rich color.
Yes, American Cherry is an excellent choice because it is a medium-density hardwood that is gentle on your knife edges while remaining durable enough for regular kitchen use. It also develops a beautiful, deep patina as it ages.
No, you should never put this board in the dishwasher. High heat and excessive moisture will cause the wood to warp or crack; instead, hand wash it with mild soap and water and dry it immediately.
