Maple Wood Cutting Board – Sushi Board

Description

The JUstenbois Maple Wood Cutting Board is a contemporary design with a ruby cut finish that enhances the simple beauty of the maple wood. It makes the perfect sushi board or small cheese platter.

It is a face grain cutting board that uses the horizontal top of the maple wood to make the cutting board. It uses the widest portion of the wood to allow you to see more of the wood grain. We use one solid piece of wood, so there are no seams. This is done to avoid using glue in our cutting boards.

It is perfect complement for healthier eating habits. The natural attributes of maple wood make this coupled with chop sticks or a maple wood cheese knife a healthier choice. They enhance your commitment to a thoughtful lifestyle.

Using a maple wood cutting board is a way to allow for the full enjoyment of all your food’s natural flavors and nutrients.

It is a long-term investment in response to today’s environmental concerns. With proper care, they can last for 15 years.

Advantages of a Maple Wood Cutting Board:

• They are durable: If properly maintained a wooden cutting board can last a very long time.
• They are sanitary: The fine grains of a hardwood like maple make them sanitary. These grains trap the bacteria and kill them off as the board dries after cleaning.
• They are gentle on knives:  The hard yet not so hard wood nature of a wood like maple are gentler on knives than excessively hard woods like bamboo.
• They are eco-friendly: Cutting boards made from wood are environmentally friendly. Wood is a naturally occurring material and is biodegradable.
• They are attractive: Very few materials are as attractive as wood. Not only is a wood cutting board practical to use, but it can also be easily converted into an attractive serving platter or a great pot trivet.

How to maintain your Maple Wood Cutting Board

Maple Wood cutting boards need to be maintained. Here are the steps that you should follow to keep your maple wood cutting board in good condition.

• Hand wash in warm water with mild dish soap immediately after use.
• Make sure to wash both sides, even if you have only used one side to prevent uneven moisture that could warp the board.
• Towel dry with a clean dishcloth and let dry vertically.
• It is extremely important that you not soak the cutting board and do not place it in the dishwasher. Doing so could cause the board to warp or crack.
• If you find the wood is drying, use a thin coat of food-grade mineral oil to recondition. This will prevent the wood from cracking and warping.
