Crate & Barrel Serving Board

Yes, the wood is finished with food-safe materials, making it perfectly suitable for serving cheeses, charcuterie, and appetizers directly on the surface.

While it is durable enough to handle light slicing, using it primarily as a serving board will help preserve the monogram and the wood's finish over time. If you do use it for cutting, expect the surface to show knife marks.

Hand wash the board with mild soap and warm water, then dry it immediately with a towel—never submerge it in water or put it in the dishwasher. To keep the wood from drying out, apply a food-grade mineral oil periodically.

The monogram is permanently applied, but like any wood finish, it can soften with heavy use and frequent washing. To prolong its appearance, avoid scrubbing the monogrammed area aggressively.

Wood is a natural material that can expand or contract with significant changes in humidity. We recommend storing it in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources like ovens or radiators to prevent warping.
