Live Edge Hardwood Charcuterie Board

This cherry wood board is truly exquisite. With a rustic yet sleek and modern appeal, it made for a stunning charcuterie display on the very evening it arrived. The board garnered numerous compliments, with many inquiring about its purchase. Already pre-oiled and ready for use, it combines strength, durability, versatility, and easy maintenance. At its affordable price, it makes for a perfect and elegant gift. This high-quality board, with its timeless charm, is sure to be in use for many years to come.

Unfortunately, we neglected to capture an image of the board on the Christmas snack table, but I took these when I initially unpacked it. Crafted from high-quality wood, the board exhibits beautiful workmanship, showcasing an appealing color and grain. My only preference would be for the logo to be a bit smaller or located on the back. Being cherry wood, it boasts durability as a hardwood, surpassing the sturdiness of a lower-quality stained softwood. Convenient grooves on each side of the board facilitate easy carrying and lifting from the table.

The cherry board is truly stunning. The wood is of excellent quality, and it arrived pre-treated. The board's size is ideal for charcuterie, making it an outstanding display piece. I would prefer the board's branding to be smaller and more discreet, as it currently detracts from the overall aesthetic.

This charcuterie serving tray and cutting board truly captivates with its stunning pale hard-maple grain, offering greater durability and lower maintenance compared to cherry, and less susceptibility to bacterial transfer than walnut. The generous size allows for an artful arrangement of cheeses, cured meats, breads, pâtés, spreads, and fruits, showcasing contrasting textures and flavors. The board's ideal dimensions, long and narrow, ensure convenient access to all items, while its live edges boast sensuous curves and bevels, providing a comfortable finger perch for easy carrying. Delivered pre-seasoned with mineral oil and beeswax, the board's distinctive woodgrain is further enhanced with an additional application of oil.

I'm thoroughly satisfied with this purchase and wholeheartedly recommend the WoodForChef charcuterie board.

This is an authentic piece of wood treated naturally (and requires careful maintenance). The instructions provided cover this aspect quite thoroughly. It is advisable not to deviate too far from their care guidelines, as cosmetic damage, and potentially permanent issues such as warping, depletion of essential oils, and cracking, may occur.

The dimensions of the piece align with the advertised size, taking into account that the 9" measurement pertains to the widest part of the depth. The center is thinner due to the piece's shape.

Placing the brand name on the rear side of the board rather than the presentation side might have been a better choice. While not a major concern, alternative placement could have achieved the same result.

It's important to note that this board will absorb moisture/liquids if left on it. When placing items with such characteristics (sushi/olives, etc.), it may be beneficial to use a small, food-safe paper insert as a barrier to prevent direct contact with the wood. If you notice stains from contact with certain foods, follow their recommended cleaning methods (vinegar for disinfection/baking soda + salt solution for cleaning).

The added lip on this board is appreciated, making it easy to lift from its current position without the need to slide it to the edge of a table, as is the case with some other serving trays that are flush from top to bottom.
