Key Features:

Solid Northern Hard Rock Maple Construction: Built from solid North American Hard Rock Maple for exceptional density, durability, and resistance to warping under heavy daily prep use.

NSF Certified: Meets NSF food safety standards, making it compliant for use in commercial and professional kitchen environments.
1-1/2" Thick Profile: Substantial 1-1/2" thickness provides a rigid, heavy-duty work surface that resists flexing and absorbs impact during intensive prep work.

Recessed Finger Grips: Integrated hand grips on each end allow secure, ergonomic handling and safe repositioning of the board during busy service.
Oil Finish: Applied oil finish protects the wood fibers, maintains moisture balance, and preserves the surface integrity over time with proper maintenance.
Available in Multiple Sizes: Offered in three sizes (18"x12", 20"x15", and 24"x18") to suit a range of prep station configurations and workflow demands.
