Board Care
Your board is crafted from real hardwood and finished to highlight the natural beauty of the grain. With proper care, it will last for many years. Please follow the guidelines below to keep your piece looking its best.
Cleaning
-
Do not place in the dishwasher.
-
Hand wash only using mild soap and warm water.
-
Avoid soaking or submerging in water.
-
Wipe clean promptly after use.
Excess moisture is the primary cause of warping or cracking in natural wood.
Drying
After washing:
-
Towel dry immediately.
-
Stand the board vertically to allow airflow on both sides.
-
Avoid laying flat on a countertop while wet.
Proper airflow helps prevent warping or wobbling.
Conditioning
To maintain the wood’s appearance and durability:
-
Recondition periodically with our Wood Butter, or
-
Use a food-safe mineral oil or butcher block oil.
Apply a thin coat, allow it to absorb, then wipe off excess. Regular conditioning prevents drying and keeps the wood protected.
Intended Use
Our serving trays and decorative boards are designed for serving and display purposes.
They are not intended to be used as cutting boards. Cutting directly on the surface may damage the finish and wood fibers.
