Andrew Pearce Double Live Edge Board

A double live edge means that both long sides of the board retain the natural, organic shape of the tree's outer layer rather than being cut into a perfectly straight line. This gives each board a unique, rustic silhouette that highlights the raw character of the black walnut.

Yes, the board is finished with a premium, food-grade, and allergy-free walnut oil. It is completely safe for serving food or preparing ingredients directly on the surface.

While it is durable enough for daily kitchen tasks, the live edge design is often best suited for lighter prep work or as a serving platter. Because it is a natural wood product, heavy knife work will leave marks, which is normal for high-quality hardwood boards.

Hand wash the board with warm water and mild soap, then dry it immediately; never submerge it in water or put it in the dishwasher. To maintain the finish, periodically apply a food-safe mineral oil or wood conditioner to keep the walnut hydrated and prevent cracking.

Because each board is handcrafted from natural black walnut, the grain patterns, color variations, and the specific contours of the live edges will vary. You should expect your board to be a one-of-a-kind piece with its own distinct character.
