## Why we chose it

The BoardSmith publicly names their adhesive — Titebond III, FDA-approved for indirect food contact — on every product page. No other major brand does this. The board is assembled from FSC-certified hard rock maple sourced from a Pennsylvania family sawmill, finished in mineral oil and their own Board Butter (mineral oil + beeswax blend). End-grain construction means knife edges slide between wood fibers rather than across them, extending both knife sharpness and board life. Made to order in North Carolina with a 1–2 week lead time.
