Know before you buy
No, this board is not reversible. It features wooden bun feet on the bottom to provide stability and elevation, which makes it intended for use on one side only.
Because this board comes with a natural oil finish, you should periodically apply food-safe mineral oil or a dedicated Boos Block Mystery Oil to keep the wood hydrated and prevent it from drying out or cracking.
While it is made from durable Northern Hard Rock Maple, this board is best suited for light prep work, slicing, and serving. Its compact 9-inch size and bun feet make it more ideal for charcuterie or bread service than for heavy, high-volume vegetable chopping.
Hand wash the board with warm water and mild soap, then dry it thoroughly immediately after cleaning. Never submerge it in water or place it in the dishwasher, as the moisture can cause the wood to warp or split.
No, the bun feet are a permanent feature of the board's design. They are intended to provide a stable, elevated platform for serving appetizers or cheeses.
