Description

A solid acacia chopping board, made in end grain: small blocks of wood set on end, so the face is a checkerboard of growth rings in warm, natural tones.

End grain is kind to a knife. The fibres part under the blade and close again, so the edge meets wood, not a hard surface. A wooden board keeps an edge longer than glass or stone. Both faces can be used, and it looks good left out on the worktop.

In the box: one acacia chopping board.

Good to know: hand wash only, never in the dishwasher. Each board is cut from natural wood, so the pattern and tones vary.

Delivery, returns and guarantee

Delivery: free to UK addresses, in 7 to 10 working days. Delivery details.

Returns: you have 30 days from delivery to send it back, unused. Returns and refunds.

Guarantee: 2 years, in addition to your statutory rights.

How to use

1. Before first use, wipe a thin coat of food-safe oil over both faces and let it soak in.

2. After use, wash it by hand in warm, soapy water. Do not leave it to soak.

3. Dry it with a cloth and stand it upright to air, so both faces dry evenly.

4. Oil it now and then, whenever the wood starts to look dry and pale.

Never put it in the dishwasher. Turn it over from time to time, so both faces wear evenly.

End grain

Kind to your knives

A wooden board keeps an edge longer than glass or stone. End grain is the kindest of all.

Why end grain

The edge

Why end grain

On end grain the blade slips between the wood fibres instead of cutting across them. The edge stays sharp for longer, and the board hides knife marks well. Glass, stone and ceramic boards blunt a knife quickly.

Questions

Before you buy

Another question? Write to us.

Is a wooden board better for my knives?

Yes. Wood gives under the blade, where glass, stone and ceramic do not. End grain is the kindest, because the edge slips between the fibres.

Can it go in the dishwasher?

No. Heat and long soaking can crack or warp wood. Wash it by hand in warm, soapy water and dry it straight away.

Which oil should I use?

A food-safe oil, such as food-grade mineral oil or a board oil. Avoid cooking oils, which can turn rancid.

Can I use both sides?

Yes. Both faces are the same end-grain checkerboard. Turning it over now and then spreads the wear.

Will every board look the same?

No. Acacia is a natural wood, so the tones and the pattern of the blocks vary from board to board.

What about delivery and returns?

Delivery is free in the UK and takes 7 to 10 working days. If you change your mind, you have 30 days to send it back unused, and it comes with a 2-year guarantee.
