These beautiful cutting boards are handcrafted out of one solid piece of highly figured olive wood. They were designed to be used as a cutting board, charcuterie board, or decorative centerpiece. The unique grain patterns in olive wood bring natural and elegant beauty to any room and would be perfect for special occasions or everyday use. Makes for a great holiday gift!
When crafting these boards, we thoughtfully highlight the beauty we find in each piece. Some pieces of olive wood look best as paddles, while others are highlighted in round pieces. We put a lot of love into each board and pride ourselves on creating something that will exceed your expectations.
Dimensions
14" length including the 4" handle with an approximate 5½" diameter. ¾" thickness.
Because these pieces are handmade, please allow for a ½" tolerance from the description size. All boards are branded with Little Ledge Woodworks on the backside.
Grain Pattern
The pictures shown in this listing are examples; each board will have its own unique grain pattern. All existing voids within the piece of olive wood are filled with food-safe resin to help prevent further stress or expansion. This detail adds to the unique aesthetic of each board and highlights the wood's natural figuring. Wood movement is unpredictable, we are not responsible for any warping, cracking, or stress that may occur after initial use.
Materials
Olive wood, food-safe mineral oil, vegan cutting board wax (walnut oil & carnauba wax).

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
Cleaning
Always hand wash both sides of your cutting board with warm-to-hot, soapy water, and rinse well. Do not submerge your cutting board in water. Never place your cutting board in the dishwasher. After washing, wipe it dry and leave standing on its edge to allow ample air circulation through the board.
Conditioning
Routine care of your wooden cutting board is key to maintaining its beauty and increasing longevity. For best results, we recommend you condition your cutting board with a cutting-board-specific oil weekly for the first month. Your home has a unique climate and humidity level; oiling the board helps your cutting board adjust to its new environment. After the first month, you likely only need to condition the board monthly or on an as-needed basis. You’ll know the board is due for oiling if it starts to appear dull, patchy, or feels rough.
Oiling Instructions
Only apply oil when the board is clean and 100% dry; never apply oil when the board is wet or damp. Spread a generous layer to all sides of the board: front, back, top, bottom, and both sides, including the finger grips. Pay particular attention to massaging the oil into any visibly dry spots. Once the oil has had enough time to soak in, if needed, apply an additional layer of oil to any still-visibly dry areas. Lightly wipe off the excess oil with a dry cloth or paper towel, and your cutting board is ready to get back to work!
Additional Don'ts
Do not place hot pots and pans on the cutting board. Do not use vegetable oils such as canola, olive, coconut, or grapeseed oil to condition your board. Instead, always use food-safe oil specially designed for cutting boards, such as Walrus Oil or food-safe mineral oil.
Optional Wax
Applying a food-grade wax after oiling further aids in retaining the cutting board’s moisture and extending the time between conditioning. Spread the wax onto all surfaces of the cutting board, similar to when you applied the oil. Gloved fingers work great. Buff out excess wax with a cloth and leave the cutting board to cure overnight, sitting on one of its edges for maximum airflow.
