Know before you buy
While the Hard Rock Maple is extremely durable, this board is primarily designed for small prep tasks, cheese service, and charcuterie. Its 9x9 inch size is best suited for light cutting rather than large-scale meal preparation.
Yes, because it is made of natural wood, you must oil it regularly with food-safe mineral oil or John Boos Mystery Oil to prevent the wood from drying out or cracking. Never put the board in the dishwasher, as the heat and moisture will damage the maple.
The board features integrated raised bun feet on the bottom, which provide stability and an elevated look for serving. Because of these feet, it is intended to be used on one side only.
Yes, the board is constructed from North American Hard Rock Maple and is completely food contact safe. It is designed specifically for direct contact with food items like cheeses, fruits, and meats.
The board is 1.5 inches thick, which provides a substantial, high-quality feel that resists warping. The integrated bun feet further enhance stability, ensuring the board stays firmly in place while you are slicing or serving.
