Be Home Arendal Board

No, this board is designed strictly for serving and presentation. Using sharp knives on the surface will damage the finish and potentially scar the wood, so it is best reserved for arranging charcuterie, cheeses, or appetizers.

Hand wash the board with mild soap and warm water, then dry it immediately with a soft cloth. Avoid soaking it in water or putting it in the dishwasher, as excess moisture can cause the mango wood to warp or crack.

Yes, the darkened finish is achieved using a food-safe stain. It is perfectly safe for direct contact with food items like crackers, fruits, and cheeses.

While not strictly required, applying a food-grade mineral oil or wood conditioner occasionally can help keep the mango wood hydrated and maintain the richness of the dark finish. Always ensure the board is completely dry before applying any oil.

At 0.5 inches thick and over 32 inches long, the board has a substantial footprint that sits flat and stable on most surfaces. However, because it is a large, thin piece of natural wood, it is best placed on a level surface to prevent any potential bowing.
