Handle Material: EXCLUSIVE ECO-FRIENDLY Created by Willowcreek Custom Knives. exclusively for my Customers, this handsome carving board features deep Dark East Texas Walnut wood, White Rock Maple  .This edge grain cutting board, crafted from solid walnut and maple, is a simpler style than the more complex end grain cutting boards but is still very durable and made to last a lifetime.  One side has a groove to catch juices when cutting meat, while the other is solid for vegetables or other, drier items. It is fully seasoned and pre-treated with our own blend of beeswax and food grade mineral oil to make maintenance a breeze

Maintenance is very easy – just hand wash after use in running water (never submerge or place in a dishwasher!) and towel dry. Whenever dry spots appear apply a light coat of food grade mineral oil (available at most supermarkets and drugstores) or I highly recommend Howard’s Butcher Block Conditioner, let sit for a few hours and then buff dry.

As wood absorbs and releases moisture, whether through use, washing, or seasonal changes, it will move – sometimes causing warping and/or cracking. Because of this natural feature of all wood products it is important to regularly oil your cutting boards. Not setting them on a solid surface when wet will also help.
