Quick answer
The JF JAMES.F round acacia cutting board 30 cm is the board you carry to the table when you want the ribeye to be the center of the plate. It's solid acacia, 30 cm across and 1.8 cm thick, reversible: just the right size to show off on the table without getting in the way. It's for presentation, sliced ribeye, a charcuterie board, cheese, and as a small second board for vegetables and herbs during prep. Skip it if you need to catch the juices of a whole brisket: this one has no channel; for that look at a large square board with a perimeter groove.
A round solid acacia board built for presentation: sliced ribeye, charcuterie spread, cheese plate beside the kamado. 30 cm diameter, 1.8 cm thick — the right size to anchor a table without being unwieldy.
Solid tropical acacia (not laminated), 1.8 cm thick — denser than bamboo and far more resistant to deep cuts. No juice channel: this is a serving board first, a chopping board second, so we use it as the final presentation surface for sliced ribeye or as a charcuterie/cheese plate. Apply mineral oil every 2-3 months to prevent the grain from cracking.
The round board you bring to the table when the ribeye is the centerpiece.

FAQ
Why acacia rather than bamboo or teak?
Tropical acacia is denser than bamboo (heals deep cuts without splintering) and has a tighter grain that repels juices better than teak, with less frequent oiling. It is the wood that best balances hardness, maintenance and presentation at a reasonable price. Kitchen-grade teak costs three times more.
How often do I have to oil the board?
Every 2-3 months of normal use, or when the grain looks "dry" after a wash. Food-grade mineral oil (pharmacy paraffin) or a board-specific mineral wax — never olive oil (goes rancid) or kitchen vegetable oil. Wipe on, let it soak 15 minutes, buff off excess.
Can I slice a whole brisket fresh off the kamado on it?
For presentation after slicing, yes — for slicing a whole brisket, no. The board has no perimeter groove and the juices from a 5kg brisket run straight off the edges onto the table. Slice on a large square board with a juice channel and transfer the slices here for serving. 30cm diameter is generous for plating, tight for breaking down big cuts.
Can I clean it with regular soap or only water?
Mild soap is fine — a couple of drops on a damp sponge. What you must NOT do: dishwasher (it cracks), soaking (it swells and warps), sun-drying. Wash, towel-dry, stand it on its edge so both faces air out.
