The original product that launched the Jacob May brand, these simple yet stunning boards display the beauty of wood in the most dramatic way. The logo-embossed brass piece at the end of each board features a pocket in the back that allow these eminently functional pieces to be hung on a single screw and displayed as works of art when not in use. Finger grooves at either end allow for easy handling. White oak may patina over time, especially when it comes in contact with water and steel. Keep your board well oiled and the self-healing properties of the "end grain" surface will allow its beauty to endure for many years to come.

Care Instructions

To preserve both the beauty and structure of your cutting board some simple steps should be taken. The cleaning instructions should be followed whenever the block is used and the maintenance process should take place monthly.

Cleaning:
Clear board of crumbs and scraps; scrub surface with damp, soapy sponge; remove soap with a wet towel; dry board immediately; never soak the board or clean it in a dishwasher!

Maintenance:
Coat block with thin layer of oil and allow 30 minutes to soak; if the oil has disappeared after 30 minutes, then apply another coat of oil; repeat this process until a small amount of oil remains on the surface of the block following the 30-minute waiting period; remove excess oil with a paper towel; flip board and repeat on bottom side.

Cutting board maintenance oil:
Jacob May recommends using a butcher-block oil comprised of a mixture of mineral oil and natural waxes including beeswax and carnauba wax. Many suitable products are available at your local kitchen supply store or online. This one works great.
