Know before you buy
Yes, end-grain construction is gentler on knife blades. The wood fibers part when the knife strikes the surface, which helps keep your edges sharper for longer compared to edge-grain boards.
No, this board is not dishwasher safe. High heat and excessive moisture can cause the rubber wood to warp or crack, so you should hand wash it and dry it thoroughly after each use.
The board features a flat base rather than rubber feet. To keep it stable while chopping, we recommend placing a damp kitchen towel or a silicone mat underneath it.
To keep the rubber wood in top condition, apply a food-safe mineral oil or wood conditioner regularly. This prevents the wood from drying out and helps maintain the integrity of the chequerboard pattern.
Yes, the board is fully reversible. Using both sides helps ensure even wear and prevents the wood from bowing over time.
