Frequently Asked Questions
What wood is it?
Acacia, chosen for how it holds up under regular handling. It gives you a sturdy, knife friendly surface with a warm grain. That combination is why it works as both a tool and a counter piece.
Is it kind to my knives?
Wood gives under a blade in a way glass and stone do not. Your edges stay sharper for longer between sharpenings. It is a better daily surface for anyone who cooks often.
How do I keep it looking good?
Wash it by hand and dry it rather than leaving it to soak. The finishing pass helps the surface resist everyday marks. Looked after, it will serve for years rather than a season.
Will my board match the photos?
Consistency between units matters to Vello, so what arrives is close to what you see. Natural grain still varies from board to board. That variation is part of what makes wood worth choosing.
Can I serve food on it?
It moves from prep to table easily. Bread, cheese and fruit all look good on the warm acacia. One board covers both jobs, which is why it earns its counter space.
