Know before you buy

Because this board is finished with food-grade oil, you should periodically apply a food-safe mineral oil or board cream to keep the wood hydrated and prevent cracking. Avoid putting the board in the dishwasher, as the heat and moisture will damage the maple.

The finger hole is designed to make the board easier to lift, move, and store. It provides a secure grip, which is particularly helpful given the board's solid 7.20-pound weight.
Yes, the 1.25-inch thickness and dense Northern Hard Rock Maple construction make this a professional-grade board. It is built to withstand daily use in a busy kitchen without warping or excessive scratching.
