Please note that each board is crafted from natural, solid wood and thus grain, color, and appearance will vary. Due to the handmade nature of each board, there may be slight variations or imperfections that we believe make each piece beautifully unique.
Wood is an organic material that changes through time and use. It can become dry and crack if not maintained correctly. Your board is seasoned with multiple coats of food-safe mineral oil and beeswax. To ensure that your board lasts for years to come and retains its original beauty, it is important to clean your board after each use. We also highly recommend oiling your board once a month with a food-safe mineral oil to give it a rejuvenating finish and to protect the wood from any damage.
Cleaning your board: Brush off crumbs and food scraps and lightly rub the surface with a soft soapy sponge. Remove soap with a damp towel and then immediately pat completely dry with a clean, dry towel. Do not soak your board or clean it in a dishwasher.
Applying mineral oil to board: Using a food-safe mineral oil (easily found at your local hardware store or on Amazon), coat your board with thin layer of oil, being careful not to drip onto the leather handle. Allow 30 minutes to soak. If the oil has disappeared after 30 minutes, then apply another coat of oil. Repeat this process until you see a small amount of oil remaining on the surface of the board following the 30-minute waiting period. Remove excess oil with a clean rag or paper towel amd flip board and repeat on bottom side if desired.
