Description
There's a difference between a cutting board and a cutting board you're proud to leave on the counter. This one is the latter. Handcrafted from premium solid curly maple hardwood, the natural figuring gives each board a luminous, wavy character that makes it as much a kitchen showpiece as a workhorse. No two boards are exactly alike.
Curly maple is the ideal cutting board wood, hard enough to be durable, but not so dense that it dulls your knives. Sanded to 220 grit with every edge and corner smoothed for comfortable handling, and finished with food-grade mineral oil and a beeswax blend to protect the wood and keep it looking beautiful for years.

Care instructions
To keep your piece looking its best, it is best to properly maintain the piece through inspection and proper care. Some things like avoiding soaking wood products in water/ avoiding moisture absorption as much as possible is important to prevent rough wood surfaces, warping, cracking, and wood movement. Keep wood products out of prolonged direct sunlight to prevent fading or warping. For furniture and decorative pieces, dust regularly and apply a quality furniture wax or wood conditioner once or twice a year if needed. For items that contact food, reapply another coat of the food safe finish applied to your specific product, sand before applying wood finish if needed to get rid of marks or damage. Avoid placing hot items directly on wood surfaces. Keep wood products away from flammable materials, and devices that could cause fires to occur.
