Sophistiplate - Artisan Maple Paddle Board - Mr & Mrs

End-grain wood is naturally self-healing because the wood fibers are oriented vertically. This allows your knife blade to slip between the fibers rather than cutting through them, which keeps your knives sharper for longer and helps the board resist deep scarring.

To keep the wood in top condition, hand wash the board with mild soap and water, then wipe it dry immediately. Avoid soaking it or putting it in the dishwasher, as excess moisture can cause the wood to warp or crack.

The board comes pre-finished with a durable, food-safe mineral oil. You can use it right out of the box, though applying a food-grade mineral oil or board cream periodically will help maintain the wood's luster and prevent it from drying out.

While the hard rock maple is durable, this board is primarily designed for serving charcuterie, cheese, and light prep work. Its 9" x 6" size is best suited for smaller tasks rather than heavy-duty, high-volume chopping.

Yes, the integrated juice groove is designed to catch liquids from fruits, meats, or cheeses. It effectively keeps your countertops clean while you are serving or prepping.
