The Carved Rustic Board is the largest here at 49.5 x 26.5 cm, with carved detailing along the edge - a board that earns a place on the table rather than in a drawer. Mango wood is the practical choice for a board - dense enough to take daily knife work, soft enough not to blunt your blades, and a by-product of orchards that have stopped fruiting rather than timber grown for the purpose.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the carved edge hard to clean?

Wipe along the carving with a cloth or soft brush rather than letting food sit in the detail. The carving is on the edge rather than the working surface, so it stays clear of chopping.

Is mango wood good for chopping?

Yes. It is a dense hardwood, firm enough to take daily knife work while still being gentle on blades - a board that is too hard blunts knives quickly, which is why hardwoods like mango are preferred over glass or stone.

How do I look after a mango wood board?

Hand wash in warm water with mild soap, rinse and dry it standing on edge so both faces dry evenly. Never soak it, never put it in a dishwasher, and rub food-grade mineral oil into it once a month - that is what stops a wooden board drying out and cracking in Indian summer heat.

Should I use the same board for vegetables and meat?

Keep separate boards, or use one face strictly for raw meat and fish and the other for vegetables and fruit. In a vegetarian or mixed household this matters more than anything else about board hygiene.

Does it work as a gift?

Wooden boards are among the more usable housewarming and wedding gifts - nothing to size, and they get used weekly rather than stored away. They are also a common pick for Diwali hampers.
