Andrew Pearce Cherry Live Edge Cutting & Presentation Board

A double live edge means that two sides of the board retain the natural, irregular contour of the tree's outer edge rather than being cut into a straight line. This preserves the unique, organic shape of the wood and ensures that no two boards are exactly alike.

Yes, cherry is a medium-density hardwood that is excellent for cutting boards. It is gentle on knife edges while being strong enough to withstand regular kitchen use without splintering or warping easily.

The 17-inch by 17-inch dimensions are approximate averages. Because each board is crafted from a unique slab of wood, the exact width and length will vary slightly from piece to piece, which is a standard characteristic of live-edge craftsmanship.

To maintain the wood's finish, hand wash the board with mild soap and water, then dry it immediately. Periodically apply a food-safe mineral oil or wood conditioner to keep the cherry from drying out and to enhance the natural grain patterns.

While it is perfect for charcuterie, cheese, and bread, it is not designed to withstand direct heat from hot pans or pots. It is best used as a presentation platter for room-temperature or warm foods.
