BE GOOD TO YOUR WOOD

Treat your wood right

Caring for your custom board properly will ensure years of use and beauty.

  • Hand wash only; NEVER use the dishwasher

  • Avoid soaking the board in water; too much moister can cause swelling and splitting

  • Towel dry after washing to remove excess moisture

  • Store cutting boards standing on edge; this allows for better air flow when drying

  • Oil & condition your board regularly; every 2-4 weeks for end-grain and every 3-6 months for edge-grain

  • Use food grade mineral oil ONLY; vegetable oils can spoil leaving an unpleasant smell

  • If possible, avoid using serrated knives or cleavers; these can damage or scar the board
