Small cherry chopping board with handle #016

Description

Each of our chopping boards is chosen for its character: the natural twists and turns of the grain, the knots that tell the story of the tree’s life, and the subtle imperfections that make it truly one of a kind. Whether it’s a smooth finish or a rugged live edge, no two boards will ever be the same – and that’s exactly how we like it.

Cherry wood has a subtle, reddish warmth that deepens beautifully with age and use. Its smooth grain and medium hardness make it an excellent all-rounder, equally suited to everyday prep and special presentation.

We take pride in sourcing boards that feel special in the hand and stand out on the table. They’re made to be enjoyed daily, whether you’re preparing fresh produce, carving Sunday roasts, or serving cheese and bread for friends.

Care Instructions

To keep your chopping board in excellent condition:

• Wash by hand only – After each use, gently hand wash the board with warm soapy water and a soft sponge.
• Avoid soaking or dishwashers – Excessive moisture can cause warping, cracking, or splitting. Never immerse your board in water or put it in the dishwasher.
• Dry properly – Pat dry with a clean towel, then stand the board upright in a well-ventilated space to allow air to circulate fully. Avoid storing in damp or enclosed areas.
• Maintain the wood – Every few weeks, condition your board with a light food-safe oil, such as mineral oil, or beeswax-based board cream. This helps nourish the wood and keep it from drying out.
• Deep clean occasionally – For odour removal or sanitising, wipe the surface with a mix of white vinegar and water (50/50), or sprinkle coarse salt and rub gently with a cut lemon. Rinse lightly and dry immediately.

With proper care, your board will develop a rich patina and last for years, becoming even more beautiful with age.
