Real Copper & Solid White Oak End Grain Bread and Cheese Board

This specialty bread board is built from locally sourced White Oak and features a genuine copper-leaf inlay centerpiece. I’ve professionally sealed the copper leaf to be 100% food-safe, creating a warm, metallic glow that complements the natural honey tones of the Oak.

Despite its smaller size, this is a full end-grain construction. By orienting the wood fibers vertically, the board acts as a "self-healing" surface. Your bread knife slides between the fibers rather than severing them, which preserves your blade's serrated edge and prevents the deep, unsightly scarring found on traditional flat-grain boards.

To complete the aesthetic and ensure stability, I’ve mounted the board on 0.75" copper feet. These elevate the wood to allow for 360-degree airflow—essential for even drying—and provide a non-slip foundation for slicing through crusty sourdough or baguettes.

The Build The Wood: Locally sourced White Oak, chosen for its durability and classic grain. The Inlay: Genuine copper-leaf, meticulously sealed for safe, everyday food contact. The Hardware: 0.75" copper feet for a coordinated look and a stable, "pro" feel. The Surface: 100% end-grain orientation—the gold standard for knife edge retention. The Finish: Deep-saturated in a mineral oil bath and finished with a hand-applied food-safe wax.

Dimensions Surface Size: 11" x 6" Total Height: 0.75"

Care & Maintenance To preserve the White Oak and the copper accents: Hand wash only with warm water and mild soap. Dry immediately after washing; never leave the board to soak. Apply a fresh coat of mineral oil or board butter periodically to keep the wood fibers hydrated and the grain looking its best.
