Know before you buy
While this board is durable, its 18" x 6" dimensions are specifically optimized for serving bread, cheese, and appetizers. It is best used as a presentation piece rather than a primary workstation for heavy-duty daily chopping.
To preserve the wood, hand wash the board with mild soap and warm water, then dry it immediately. Avoid soaking it or putting it in the dishwasher, and periodically apply a food-grade mineral oil to keep the maple hydrated and protected.
Yes, the board features a food-contact safe construction, ensuring it is ready for direct contact with bread, fruits, and cheeses right out of the box.
The board is designed for serving room-temperature or warm appetizers and bread. It is not intended to be used as a trivet for extremely hot pots or pans, which could damage the wood surface.
The board measures 18 inches long by 6 inches wide, with a thickness of 0.75 inches. This slim, rectangular profile makes it ideal for narrow table settings or serving long loaves of bread.
