Olivewood River Charcuterie Board - 18" x 10"

Olivewood is native to the European, African, and Middle Eastern regions around the eastern portion of the Mediterranean. This olivewood has a highly unique cambium (the darker-brown-colored wood found on the outside of a tree between heartwood/sapwood and the bark), with a large number of sterilized, stabilized and filled insect holes/tracts. This piece showcases a river design with the river colored in a semi-opaque black. It boasts rounded corners and edges and includes a handhold cut out on one side for easy handling. This piece will make an excellent conversation starter, serve as a stylish charcuterie board, or be a great display piece for any kitchen.

Due to the specific type of epoxy used, it is completely safe for food contact - however, no epoxy is safe for cutting on, and all will show knife marks easily. We recommend our cutting boards and butcher blocks for all use cases involving a knife. Please note this piece involved a significantly larger volume of man hours to process than our normal Bocote charcuterie boards in order to get it stabilized and finished correctly due to difficulties with this highly figured and characterized olivewood slab. It is unlikely that this piece will sit flat, and it may have slight dips and valleys across the board.

Specifications:

• Made 100% in Colorado by Kineo Mountain Woodsmithing
• Made from a solid live-edge Olivewood slab with FDA-approved epoxy and pigment for the center
  
• Grain Raised Finishing Process i This is where our sanding process involves raising the grain before final sanding. Normally, when wood comes into contact with water, it will absorb the water, raising the grain and causing the surface to become rough after that point. Raising the grain before hand, helps ensure that when wood comes into contact with water, it will remain smooth instead of becoming rough.
• Finished with a penetrating, food-grade mineral oil followed by a coating of our wood butter
  
• No Paints or Stains used (0-VOC)
• 17.75" x 9.5" x 0.5" dimensions
