The Hearthside Harvest | Mid-Profile Cherry Cutting Board

Warm, inviting, and built for the heart of the home, our Cherry Wood Cutting Board offers the perfect balance of elegance and utility. Cherry is prized by woodworkers and chefs alike for its smooth texture and its famous ability to "tan" and deepen in color over time.

The Perfect Middle Ground

At 1 inch thick, this board sits in the "Goldilocks" zone of kitchen surfaces—sturdier and more warp-resistant than slim boards, yet light enough to move from the counter to the table without effort. It provides a solid, professional feel under the knife while maintaining a graceful, low profile.

Key Specifications

• Dimensions: 20" x 11.5" — An expansive workspace designed for big tasks, from rolling out dough to prepping family-sized stir-fries.

• Profile: 1" thickness provides enhanced stability and a premium, substantial weight.

• Material: Solid American Black Cherry.

• Finish: Hand-rubbed with food-safe mineral oil and beeswax to highlight the natural grain.

Why You’ll Love It

• The Living Finish: Cherry wood is light-sensitive; it begins as a soft salmon-pink and matures into a deep, lustrous reddish-brown with age and use. Your board will literally get more beautiful the longer you own it.

• Edge Protection: Cherry is a medium-density hardwood, meaning it provides a "forgiving" surface. It absorbs the impact of your blade, keeping your chef's knives sharper for longer compared to plastic or bamboo.

• Reversible Utility: Use the expansive 20-inch surface for heavy-duty chopping on one side, and flip it over to use as a stunning rustic serving platter for breads and cheeses.

• Closed-Grain Hygiene: Like maple, cherry has a tight grain that resists stains and prevents food particles from becoming trapped, making cleanup a breeze.

Care & Maintenance

• Clean: Hand wash only with warm water and mild soap. Dry immediately.

• Sanitize: For deep cleaning, occasionally wipe with white vinegar or a lemon half and coarse salt.

• Hydrate: To maintain the rich, deep red tones, apply a food-grade board butter or mineral oil every 3–4 weeks.

A Kitchen Heirloom: Crafted from premium domestic hardwoods, this cherry board isn't just a tool—it's a piece of functional art that grows in character alongside your culinary skills.
