Know before you buy
Yes. The northern hard rock maple construction provides a knife-friendly surface that is softer than your blades, helping to maintain their sharpness over time.
To keep the wood from drying out or cracking, you should regularly apply a food-safe mineral oil or a specialized board cream, such as the Boos Block cream, to maintain the protective beeswax finish.
Absolutely. The board is fully reversible, featuring a flat side for general chopping and a grooved side specifically designed to catch juices from meats or fruits.
The integrated finger grip hole makes it significantly easier to lift, move, and clean the board. It also provides a convenient option for hanging the board on a wall hook for space-saving storage.
Hand wash the board with warm water and a mild soap, then dry it thoroughly immediately after. Never submerge it in water or put it in the dishwasher, as the moisture will cause the wood to warp or split.
