Medium Round Mango Wood Pizza Board - Natural

A round serving board in mango wood, 32cm across and 43cm long with the handle counted, cut 2cm thick. The handle is a short flat tab running off one side of the circle, drilled through near its end, and a length of leather is knotted through the hole and tied off in a loop. The wood is pale with darker streaks running through it, and the grain reads straight across the face of the board.

At 32cm across the circle it takes a whole pizza with the handle left clear to lift it, and the same face holds a cheese course, antipasti or a cut loaf. The leather loop is long enough to hang the board from an S-hook on a kitchen rail, with the tie carrying the weight, so it lives on the wall between uses rather than in a drawer. At 0.9kg it can be carried to the table loaded.

The board is mango wood, grown first for fruit and cut for timber only once the trees stop bearing, which is what brings the wood into use at all. Grain and colour run differently across every board and the tone shifts over time. The same board is made in a larger size, 59 by 46cm.

How big is it?

43cm long including the handle, 32cm across the circle and 2cm thick.

Is it food safe?

Yes.

Does the leather tie come with it?

Yes. It is knotted through the handle and can be used to hang the board.

Does it come in another size?

Yes. There is a larger board at 59 by 46cm.

How do I look after it?

Wash it in warm soapy water, rinse it and dry it straight away rather than leaving it standing wet. An edible oil such as olive or walnut rubbed into the surface with a cloth will feed and protect the wood, though it will darken the tone.
