4-piece set · Three woods · No plastic

Raw chicken, your salad and your cheese should never share a board

Three boards in three different woods, each with its job burned right into the edge. Nothing from the raw meat ends up in your salad, the fruit and the cheese stop tasting like onion, and no plastic gets into your food. Made by Dale Pruitt, 67, from wood that was headed for the chipper.

4Pieces: 3 boards + stand
0Plastic under your knife

Why three boards

What one board is doing to your food

The problem Chicken juice in the salad

Raw meat juice runs into every knife mark. You wash the board, and most of it comes out. Most is not all.

The fix

Meat & Fish gets its own board, just as the USDA recommends. Nothing raw ever touches the salad board.

The problem Onion in the strawberries

Garlic and onion soak into the surface. Slice strawberries on the same spot the next morning, and they taste like last night’s dinner.

The fix

The Fruits & Vegetables board has two sides. When the words on the edge read right-side up, you’re on the fruit side. Flip it and the words stand on their head: that’s the side for onions and garlic. Your strawberries never touch an onion. And cheese & bread get a board of their own that never sees onion, garlic or fish.

The problem Plastic in your food

A 2023 North Dakota State study estimated a single plastic board sheds up to 79 million microplastic particles a year into what you cut.

The fix

Solid hardwood: acacia, sapele and oak, finished with food-grade mineral oil. Nothing plastic under your knife. Wood gives up wood.

What arrives

Three woods, three jobs, burned in

Fruits & Vegetables
Fruits & Veg

Acacia · fruit up, onions flipped

Meat & Fish

Sapele · the red one, raw meat & fish only

Cheese & Bread

Oak · the light one, serves too

Plus a box-jointed hardwood stand that keeps all three upright and dry, like books on a shelf. Four pieces in all.
From the storm pile

Not one tree cut down for a board

After every big storm, the roads around Redland are full of fallen trees, and almost all of it goes to the chipper or the burn pile. Dale has cleaned up after storms since Andrew in 1992. Now he keeps the good trunks: earleaf acacia, the first tree down in every hurricane, and oak. The reddish sapele comes as offcuts from a boat builder down the road, pieces too short for a boat and headed for the dumpster.

Three woods, three colors, so you grab the right board without reading. The rules came from his wife Carol, who ran a school cafeteria for 26 years. He burned them in.

“I’ve never cut down a tree for a board. The storm does that. I just can’t stand watching good wood go in the chipper.”Dale Pruitt · Redland, Florida
Kitchen rules · C. Pruitt

Chicken ONLY on the red board. Fruit side up, onions on the flip side. The light one is for cheese & bread.

No exceptions, Dale — that means you.

The Final Series

Message from the studio:

After forty-six years painting the Blue Ridge mountains from her window, a small stroke this past winter took the steady hand Eleanor Voss needs for the fine detail. She finished her three 2027 series — the American landscapes, the French villages, and the twelve famous-painting cats — in the last weeks the line still held. Every month is printed from an original oil painting. When these are gone, there is no reprint and no 2028.

What Dale's customers are saying

The set comes in a box, already oiled, and goes straight onto the counter. Three spines, one stand, about the footprint of a row of cookbooks. The acacia, the red sapele and the pale oak sit side by side, so you can tell which board is which from across the kitchen, without reading a word.

Elaine M. – Springfield, Missouri

Raw steaks and chicken thighs belong on one board and one board only. The reddish sapele MEAT & FISH board goes out to the grill, gets seasoned on, then goes straight to the sink. The salad never sees it. That's the whole point of Carol's cafeteria rule, and it works just as well on a back porch.

Verified

Gary T. – Columbus, Ohio

The stand keeps all three boards upright and dry instead of stacked wet in a drawer. Pull out the one you need and slide it back when you're done. The words are burned into the edge like the spine of a book, so they don't wash off after a month in the sink.

Verified

Monica C. – Portland, Oregon

Bananas and strawberries go on the fruit side of the Fruits & Vegetables board, the side where the words read right-side up. Onions and garlic go on the flip side. It's easy enough for a seven-year-old to remember, and the fruit never tastes like last night's dinner.
