Your board is made from locally sourced hardwood, assembled using a waterproof glue, and finished with food safe mineral oil. It's sturdy enough for everyday use and is kind to your knife edges. You will notice the difference in beauty and performance.

With simple care your board will serve you well and last a lifetime. Here are some tips:

• Hand wash with warm soapy water. Rinse well and then towel dry. Stand the board on end to finish air drying before placing flat on the counter surface.
• Occasionally re-oil with food safe mineral oil, beeswax, or other butcher block conditioner. This helps the board resist staining and always look and perform its best.
• Place a kitchen towel under the board to catch juices from cutting or to stabilize the board on an uneven surface as needed.
• ​Do not soak, submerge in water, or wash in the dishwasher. The steam created inside a diswasher can cause the wood to warp.
• To sanitize, wash the board with a solution of 1 part white vinegar and 5 parts water.
• Remove odors by rubbing with salt and half a lemon. Allow to stand a few minutes then wipe with a damp towel and dry.
• Scratches and knife marks that develop over time may be removed by lightly sanding then re-oiling the board.
• Enjoy!  Well crafted wooden boards are beautiful but also durable tools that are designed to be used!
