All "upgraded materials" containing glue, splicing, or chemical treatments are excluded from our consideration. We believe that a truly good cutting board should retain as much of the wood's natural appearance as possible. 【Perfectly Minimalist Design】 • Softly rounded R4 edges, clean yet comfortable to hold. • R10 wall-mounting holes for easy storage. • Optional stand for quick drying and extended lifespan. • Mortise and tenon joint for easy assembly and disassembly. 【Auspicious Dimensions Based on Lu Ban Ruler】 Family Version Dimensions: Length: 410mm (Auspicious number for wealth) Width: 250mm (Auspicious number for windfall wealth) Thickness: 25mm Single Version Dimensions: Length: 280mm (Auspicious number for wealth and nobility) Width: 180mm (Auspicious number for offspring) Thickness: 20mm 【Two Sizes, Two Living Scenarios】 Family Version – 410×250 mm A reliable helper for families of 3–5 people.

This patina and sense of life slowly cultivated over time is something that other woods cannot replicate. Many people who buy cherry wood cutting boards are essentially buying a piece of wood that tells a story. • It also offers an exquisite tactile experience and ambiance: fine grain, natural sheen, and a smooth, warm feel. Placed in an open kitchen or on an island, it exudes a sophisticated Japanese/Nordic minimalist atmosphere. • Most importantly, it's extremely friendly to high-end handmade knives/Japanese knives/German knives. Its low hardness significantly reduces blade chipping and dulling, noticeably extending the sharpness of your knives with long-term use. • We don't pursue "most wear-resistant" but rather that sense of ritual and emotional warmth you feel every time you cut vegetables. Just like some people would rather drive an old manual transmission than upgrade to a new automatic. 【Cutting Board Maintenance】 • Avoid heavy-duty operations such as chopping bones or heavy chopping. • Regularly apply food-grade plant oil (MCT coconut oil or mineral oil are both acceptable) to lock in moisture, prevent cracking, and prevent mold. • After washing, wipe dry → stand upright to air dry → reapply oil every 1-2 months as needed. Homemade Pure Plant-Based Maintenance Oil Recipe: 1 part natural beeswax, 4 parts MCT organic coconut oil. Melt the beeswax in a water bath (double-layered pot or double boiler) → slowly pour in the MCT oil and stir well → pour into a clean, light-proof container and let cool into a paste. It can be stored for 24 months when sealed; once opened, use within 12 months. 【Handmade Woodcraft Tips】 • This product is semi-handmade + made from natural North American cherry wood. Each piece of wood has unique grain, color variations, and growth marks (such as small scars, mineral lines, and slight stains). These are gifts from nature and the charm of handmade cutting boards; they cannot achieve the "perfect uniformity" of industrial products. • We meticulously select the highest quality wood and hand-polish each piece to ensure both beauty and practicality. If you have extremely high standards for a flawless finish, please feel free to message us for a custom-made premium version (price will be adjusted accordingly). • Thank you for embracing the natural character of wood and supporting independent handcrafting. We hope every encounter is a joyous and willing experience.
