Medium Maple Wood Cutting Board - 17 x 11 in, Reversible

Virginia Boys Kitchens describes itself as a family-run kitchenware business with roots in Virginia. Its stated priorities include American manufacturing, useful wood products and reforestation, with a tree-planting pledge attached to purchases. A first-person interview about the business identifies Brian Lejeune and Janine Do as later buyers, rather than establishing the original founders. The original founders’ names, exact founding year and current operating city and state have not been confirmed from the reviewed primary sources. Those required company-history details remain pending verification before publication.

Medium Maple Wood Cutting Board - 17 x 11 in, Reversible

Bring a medium-size maple cutting board into your daily preparation routine. Measuring 17 x 11 inches with a three-quarter-inch profile, it offers more workspace than the small bar board while using less counter area than a large carving model. A perimeter groove on one face helps collect juices from ingredients.

The reverse is flat, so you can choose a surface that suits the task after cleaning the board. Use it to prepare ingredients in stages or arrange a simple snack presentation. Before ordering, check where the full rectangle will sit and where it can dry with air reaching both sides after washing.

Features

• Rectangular cutting and serving format
• Juice-catching perimeter groove on one side
• Flat reverse for an alternate working surface
• Pre-seasoned with the maker’s wood-seasoning oil
• Made in the United States

For a simple serving arrangement, group sliced items rather than covering the whole board at once. Refill small portions as needed and use appropriate dishes for dips or wet accompaniments. Keep serving utensils nearby so guests can take food comfortably. When switching from preparation to serving, wash and dry the board first, even if you are using the opposite face.

Compare related cutting boards and butcher blocks to choose a shape, size and storage arrangement that fits your daily routine.

Materials and finish

The product title, matching SKU and manufacturer photographs identify maple wood. Some of the supplier’s descriptive text instead refers to walnut, so the species conflict remains under review. The maker describes these cutting boards as pre-seasoned with its wood-seasoning oil; its materials page identifies fractionated coconut oil as the wood-seasoning base. No certification or complete formula is inferred from a promotional label.

Care and use

After food preparation, wash the working surface with hot, soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly. Keep a clean board for ready-to-eat foods separate from the surface used for raw meat, poultry or seafood. Follow the maker’s wood-care directions and let both faces dry before storage; prolonged soaking or trapped moisture can damage a wood board. Periodically inspect the surface for deep grooves or damage that make cleaning difficult.

General handling guidance is available in the FoodSafety.gov guidance on cleaning and preventing cross-contamination. A juice groove manages liquid during preparation; it does not replace washing or careful separation of raw and ready-to-eat foods. Choose a maintenance product intended for food-contact wood and follow its label directions.
