This environmentally-sustainable product is created from reclaimed North American hardwood that has been carefully selected for quality and purchased from mills throughout the country. The board is then hand-crafted by skilled woodworkers in Wisconsin--an area known for its rich woodworking tradition. Wood is hand-sanded and finished with a food-grade oil to protect it against cracking and warping. Periodic treatment with wood oil (Snow River?s own brand is recommended) and hand washing and drying will keep this bread board in good-as-new condition. --Cristina Vaamonde
