Holland Bowl Mill Serving Board

Both woods are durable hardwoods, but they offer different aesthetics. Cherry starts with a lighter, pinkish hue that deepens to a rich, reddish-brown patina over time, while Maple is consistently lighter with a creamy, uniform grain that brightens up a table setting.

Since it is finished with food-safe Bee's Oil, you should periodically re-apply a similar food-grade wood oil or wax whenever the board begins to look dry or dull. This keeps the wood hydrated and prevents cracking, ensuring it lasts for years.

While it is designed primarily as a serving piece for charcuterie and cheese, it is durable enough to handle light cutting. However, frequent knife use will leave marks on the wood, so if you want to keep the surface pristine for presentation, it is best to use it as a platter rather than a primary prep board.

Hand wash the board with warm water and a mild soap, then wipe it dry immediately. Never submerge it in water or put it in the dishwasher, as the heat and moisture can cause the wood to warp or crack.

The 11-inch board is ideal for intimate settings or serving a single type of cheese, the 15-inch size is a versatile middle ground for small appetizers, and the 18-inch board is best suited for larger gatherings or elaborate charcuterie spreads.
