Know before you buy
End grain construction allows your knife blade to slip between the wood fibers rather than cutting across them. This reduces resistance and prevents your blade from dulling as quickly as it would on a standard edge-grain board.
To keep the wood hydrated and protected, periodically apply a food-grade mineral oil or a board cream containing beeswax. This prevents the wood from drying out or cracking and helps maintain its natural luster.
Yes, cherry wood is known for its ability to develop a rich, deep patina over time. Regular use and proper oiling will cause the wood to darken and gain character, making each board unique to your kitchen.
At 16 pounds, this board is substantial and provides a very stable, non-slip surface for heavy-duty prep work. Its weight ensures it won't slide around your countertop while you are chopping or carving.
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, then dry it immediately.
