Hardwood End Grain Cutting Board- Walnut, Maple, Black Limba
Bring a touch of natural beauty to your home with this beautiful board. Lovingly hand crafted from offcuts, reclaimed boards, and recycled furniture wherever possible, giving new life to every beautiful piece, while trying to minimize the use of "new" wood.
Because no two trees are alike, every board has its own distinct character. You might notice variations in tone, figure, or grain pattern; that's part of what makes them truly one of a kind. Over time, the wood's colour may deepen or mellow slightly, as it continues to age naturally, adding even more charm to your board.
Protected with food safe Odie's Oil products for durability and beauty, and a natural feel to the touch.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
- Wipe clean with a damp soapy cloth as needed (it's a good idea to clean both sides, rather than just one), rinse, and DRY IMMEDIATELY. Avoid soaking or placing in a dishwasher, as this will surely damage or warp your board.
- Allow board to air dry fully after cleaning, and store UPRIGHT, not flat, to allow air flow to both sides.
- Keep out of direct sunlight or extreme heat to prevent fading and/or warping.
- To refresh the finish on occasion (don't overdo it), lightly rub a tiny amount of food-safe oil or board butter and buff thoroughly with a soft cloth
- With proper care, your board should last for years and continue to develop a rich, natural patina

ABOUT THIS BOARD:
End grain boards are really the work horse of the kitchen. Far superior to face grain or edge grain boards for cutting, the fibres of the wood are oriented vertically, and allow the knife edge to kind of "slip" in between. While you will still cut see marks, they are always far less noticeable than on face or edge grain boards, and help keep your knives sharper longer. End grain boards take longer to make, and use more materials; this is why you always see a higher cost with end grain boards.
