A mango wood board that works both ways. Flat on one face for prep, and a carved reverse for resting and carving what comes out of the oven.
- Solid mango wood. A pale close-grained hardwood with a warm figure, milled from a fast-growing timber rather than a slow-growing one.
- Reversible. One face for prep and the other for serving, so the board earns its cupboard space twice.
- Kinder to your knives. Timber is softer on a blade than glass or stone, so edges stay sharp longer.
- Naturally more hygienic than plastic. Wood has inherent antibacterial properties and does not hold the knife scarring that plastic does.
- Measures 43x33x3.6cm. Sized so you can check it against your bench before you buy.
- Finished to show the grain. Treated to bring out the colour and figure of the timber rather than bury it under a coating.
- Hand wash and dry. Timber does not belong in a dishwasher, and a wipe down keeps a board going for years.
- Oil it now and then. A wipe of food-safe mineral oil feeds the timber and keeps the grain from drying out. Do that and a board like this outlives most of the kitchen.
Peer Sorensen has been making timber boards since 1981.
