Know before you buy
In an end-grain board, the wood fibers are oriented vertically. When your knife blade makes contact, it slips between these fibers rather than cutting across them, which significantly reduces dulling and keeps your edges sharper for longer.
Like all wood cutting boards, you should hand wash it with mild soap and water, then dry it immediately. To maintain the wood's integrity and appearance, apply a food-grade mineral oil or wax periodically to prevent the board from drying out.
No, the board is equipped with soft rubber feet on the underside. These provide a stable, non-slip grip during use and also promote airflow underneath to keep the board dry.
The board weighs approximately 7.87 pounds. While it is substantial enough to stay firmly in place during heavy-duty prep work, it is manageable to lift and store when needed.
Yes, the Eastern Canadian larch wood used for these boards is sustainably grown and harvested, ensuring a responsible choice for your kitchen.
