Know before you buy
While the edges retain the natural shape of the wood, the surface remains smooth and easy to wipe down. We recommend hand-washing with mild soap and water, then drying it immediately to maintain the integrity of the walnut.
Because it is crafted from a single, kiln-dried piece of American Black Walnut, it is highly stable. However, like all solid wood products, it should be kept away from extreme heat sources and never submerged in water to prevent potential bowing.
The board is finished to be smooth and functional for food preparation. While each piece features unique character marks like knots or grain patterns, these are sanded flush to ensure a safe and level surface for your knives.
To keep the walnut hydrated and protected, apply a food-grade mineral oil or Boos Block Mystery Oil whenever the wood begins to look dry or dull. Regular oiling will also help prevent staining and keep the grain looking vibrant.
Yes, the board is fully reversible. Since it is a single piece of solid hardwood, both sides offer the same durability and performance for chopping, slicing, or serving.
