J. Wentworth Double Sided Cutting Boards / Charcuterie Boards are made from solid hardwood, mostly from local, Maine forests. The primary woods used are sugar maple, cherry, yellow birch, red oak and walnut. There are occasionally strips of exotic, accent woods such and wenge and padouk. Many of the boards are selected because of their beauty and figure. Tiger maple and flame birch have unusual grain patterns that are carefully selected and included.
Pretty to look at and practical, butcherblock cutting boards for every kitchen. Cutting boards definitely say a lot about their owners. After a great chef's knife, the tool we reach for most often is a cutting board. One side has juice collector, back side is flat.
John Wentworth grew up in the furniture making business, in 1947 his family started Moosehead Furniture, the largest privately owned furniture factory in New England. In his workshop overlooking Lake Hebron, John continues to make custom pieces and cabinetry as well as repair classic Moosehead furniture.
Clean with a rag dampened with warm water. Do not use soap or harsh chemicals, soak in water or put into the dishwasher, this will ruin the finish.
Wood needs to be oiled periodically not just to maintain its luster, but to keep it protected. To refresh the finish you may use a cutting board oil.
