American Cherry
A warm, reddish hardwood with a calm, refined grain that glows beautifully once oiled. American Cherry begins with soft pink, honey, and light brown tones, then gradually darkens into a richer amber-red patina with use and exposure to light. Softer than oak and maple, it makes a warm, characterful chopping board — as much about grain and warmth as everyday function. Ages gracefully.

Common questions
How hard is American Cherry?
American Cherry measures Janka 950 — hard enough to take daily knife work and last for years with a little care.
How do I care for American Cherry chopping boards?
Hand-wash them, dry them standing up rather than flat, and re-oil with a food-safe oil when the surface starts to look dry. Never put one in the dishwasher. The full routine is in our care guide.
Are American Cherry chopping boards food-safe?
Yes. Every piece is finished with food-safe oil and wax, so the surface is safe for food preparation. The finish may contain mineral oil, beeswax, coconut and vitamin E — if you have an allergy, check the care guide before ordering. American Cherry itself is a close-grained hardwood well suited to kitchen use.
