Our board is made from solid Oak. Each board is finished in a food safe top oil, this will be applied to your board before it heads off to you. Like many other wooden products, there are a few do's and don'ts.. For example, dishwashers are a definite 'no no'. There will be a sheet included, explaining how to look after your board.
Each board comes in its own linen bag that you can fill will goodies around your home. I use mine to store a loaf of fresh baked bread.
