Maple 20 x 16-Inch FSC Certified Danby Board

The Danby Collection, named after J.K. Adam's sister community, is known for its down-home Vermont work ethic. Like the town, these boards are not fancy but can be relied upon to perform their job consistently. Silicone corners grip the countertop, preventing movement or slippage during chopping. The feet also serve a critical function, keeping the wood elevated and dry above the moisture of a wet countertop. Each board is reversible, with a juice groove on one side and a flat surface on the other. Crafted from FSC certified Maple with a renewable oil finish, the Danby Collection pairs perfectly with the Basic Board Stand for vertical storage. The board measures 20 by 16 by 3/4 inches.

J.K. Adams purchases lumber from a select few suppliers, ensuring they practice sustainable forestry. In 2009, J.K. Adams became the first manufacturer of its type to be certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), the leading authority in Europe and the United States for promoting responsible forest management. This certification lends credibility to the term "green," as the auditing and certification process is rigorous, and few companies can successfully complete it.

Wood is naturally antibacterial, and any bacteria left on the board will actually diminish over time, unlike on a plastic cutting board. A wooden board will also be gentler on the edge of your knife, and it just feels and sounds better when chopping. To maintain the board, wash it by hand in warm soapy water, dry thoroughly, and frequently oil it with mineral oil to keep it looking its best. Avoid soaking, microwaving, freezing, or putting it in the dishwasher. For stain removal, use a weak bleach-and-water solution or a combination of lemon juice and salt, then rinse and wipe with mineral oil. The surface can also be sanded to restore the board's appearance, although a board with wear will add character to your kitchen.

The rich heritage and folk lore of the great Yankee Woodworker are as renowned today as they were centuries ago, and the craft has been passed down through generations. J.K. Adams' success is attributable to the early Vermonters employed by the company in its infancy, who brought forth the techniques and quality craftsmanship that could only come from shared knowledge and experience. The J.K. Adams factory has been at the same location since its inception, and as many as three generations of families have relied on the company for their livelihoods. Situated in a rural area of Vermont, J.K. Adams remains one of the largest employers in the region and a vital pillar of support for the local community.

J.K. Adams has always leveraged the creativity and skill of its workforce in developing new products, and today, the company continues its New England craftsmanship with a wide variety of cutting boards, wooden salad bowls, kitchen islands, and slate serving trays. At the J.K. Adams factory, future generations of woodworkers are building upon the traditions established over 65 years ago.

Cutting boards and other products made by J.K Adams are manufactured in the USA. The company's logo, the broad arrow, symbolizes the exceptional quality of the wood used in their products, as it was the mark used in colonial New England to identify the finest trees for the Queen's Navy shipmasts.
