Basic Cutting Board With Handle

The Basic Cutting Board with Handle in the Paddle model measures 41.00 cm in width, 20.00 cm in depth, and has a height of 2.00 cm. With a volume of 0.0024 cubic meters and a total weight of 1.01 kg, this board provides a substantial yet manageable surface for daily food preparation tasks. The piece is crafted entirely from solid mahogany wood, a dense hardwood known for its reddish-brown coloration and straight grain pattern.

Mahogany possesses a natural resistance to moisture penetration and warping, making it a practical choice for kitchen environments where exposure to water and food acids occurs regularly. The surface of the board is finished with mineral oil, a food-safe treatment that penetrates the wood fibers to seal out liquids and prevent the material from drying out or cracking over time. This oil finish maintains the natural matte appearance of the wood without creating a synthetic film on top.

The design features an integrated paddle shape, consisting of a rectangular cutting surface that transitions into a carved handle at one end. A circular hanging hole is bored through the end of the handle, measuring approximately two centimeters in diameter, which allows the board to be hung on a hook or peg for vertical storage. The edges of the cutting board are cleanly machined with a slight chamfer, removing sharp 90-degree corners and creating a smooth perimeter.

The 2.00 cm thickness gives the board structural rigidity, preventing it from flexing under downward pressure from a chef’s knife or cleaver. A thickness of two centimeters also allows the board to be lightly sanded and refinished multiple times over its lifespan if surface knife scars accumulate through regular use. The flat bottom surface rests evenly on countertops without rocking, providing a stable foundation for chopping, slicing, and dicing ingredients.

The 41.00 cm overall width includes both the functional cutting area and the handle, offering ample room for food placement while remaining compact enough to fit into standard kitchen cabinets, dish racks, or drawer slots. Weighing 1.01 kg, the board stays securely in place during cutting tasks due to its mass, reducing the likelihood of sliding across the countertop without requiring rubber feet.

Maintenance of this mahogany cutting board requires hand washing with warm water and mild dish soap immediately after use. The board should be dried thoroughly with a towel and stored in a dry environment to prevent moisture retention. Dishwasher cleaning is strictly contraindicated, as the high heat and prolonged water immersion will warp the mahogany and strip the mineral oil barrier. Periodic reapplication of food-grade mineral oil is necessary to maintain the moisture resistance of the wood and keep the surface conditioned.

The material composition consists solely of solid mahogany timber, joined or milled to achieve the specified dimensions of 41 cm by 20 cm by 2 cm. The color designation of Mineral Oil refers to the protective coating applied during the manufacturing process rather than an opaque pigment, allowing the natural grain variations and warm brown tones of the mahogany to remain visible across the entire surface.
