Ironwood Oslo End Grain Square Utility Cutting Board

End-grain construction means the wood fibers are oriented vertically, which allows your knife blade to slip between the fibers rather than cutting across them. This helps keep your knives sharper for longer and prevents deep score marks from forming on the board surface.

Hand wash the board with warm water and mild soap, then dry it thoroughly immediately after cleaning. Never soak it or put it in the dishwasher, as excess moisture can cause the wood to warp or crack.

The board comes finished with food-grade oil, but you should apply a food-safe mineral oil or wood conditioner periodically. Regular oiling keeps the acacia wood hydrated, prevents drying, and maintains its natural luster.

Measuring 15 by 8 inches, this board is well-suited for daily tasks like slicing vegetables, prepping herbs, or carving small proteins. If you frequently work with large roasts or multiple ingredients at once, you may find the surface area somewhat compact.

Acacia is a dense hardwood, which makes it naturally resistant to moisture and odor absorption. However, it is still a porous material, so it is best to wipe it down promptly after working with highly pigmented or pungent ingredients like beets or garlic.
