Strand woven bamboo is 2-3 times harder than most hardwoods, including oak when using the Janka Scale which is the universal test categorizing the hardness of woods.
The hard, durable bamboo surface is kind to knives and is easy to clean and care for. Just wipe with warm water and sponge with an occasional touch up with mineral oil or olive oil. Substantially stronger than hard woods, bamboo is one of the most renewable resources in the world.
