Sasha Nicholas Charcuterie Board

To preserve the wood, hand wash the board with mild soap and warm water, then dry it immediately. Avoid soaking it or putting it in the dishwasher, and apply a food-safe mineral oil periodically to keep the maple from drying out.

The heirloom distressed finish is designed to provide a rustic aesthetic, but it is sanded smooth for safe use. You will feel the character of the wood, but it will not snag on fabrics or feel splintery.

While maple is a durable hardwood suitable for cutting, the distressed finish is primarily intended for presentation. Using sharp knives directly on the surface will create new marks that may alter the intended rustic look of the piece.

The board is substantial and stable, which prevents it from sliding during use. While it has a solid, heirloom-quality heft, its elongated 20-inch length makes it manageable to carry with two hands when fully loaded with appetizers.

This piece features a flat, solid base without attached feet. Its weight helps keep it securely in place on most table surfaces, but you may want to place it on a tablecloth or runner to protect delicate tabletops.
