Preserve the beauty of your handcrafted piece for years to come.
Wood is a living material — it breathes, shifts, and responds to its environment.
With a little care and attention, your handcrafted item will age gracefully, developing character and lasting for generations.
🔪 Cutting Boards – Care Guidelines
What to Do:
Always wash with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly with a towel — then let it air-dry standing on its side.
Condition the board regularly with mineral oil or cutting board conditioner:
If board is used: after 2-3 uses and when board starts to dry up.
If board isn’t used: after every few uses or when it feels dry.
Apply oil to all sides and edges — not just one side — to prevent warping from uneven moisture levels.
Store the board flat with feet or upright on its edge in a cool, dimly lit place.
What to Avoid:
Do not soak in water
Never wash in the dishwasher, place in the oven or microwave, or use as a hot plate.
Do not use edible oils like olive and sunflower oil, only beeswax and/or mineral oil
Keep out of direct sunlight to avoid fading
🛋️ General Care for All Wooden Products
Use only water and a soft cloth for cleaning.
Never soak in water or leave wet for extended time.
Do not use chemicals.
Keep away from heat sources and areas with large temperature swings.
Never place hot items directly on the surface — always use protective pads or coasters.
Direct sunlight can alter color and finish — store in shaded areas when possible.
When wood appears dry, re-apply mineral oil.
