This butcher's block style cutting board is very hardwearing. The endgrain cutting surface effectively self-heals from cuts.

Please note that although this item has been made with care to minimise warping, wood is a natural material and depending on ambient temperature and humidity it may change shape, warp or even crack in extreme circumstances.

This cutting board has been soaked in pure mineral oil for 24 hours. This oil is food safe, tasteless, odourless and clear in colour. Saturating the board in this way minimises absorption of water and liquids from foods, reducing staining and warping of the wood. Wooden cutting boards do require some maintenance to retain these qualities.

It is recommended to reapply food-safe mineral oil every month by wiping a generous amount onto the surface, allowing it to soak in, then wiping off any excess. Do not use olive oil or similar food oils as they can go rancid over time.

Stand the cutting board on its edge when not in use. This will allow both sides to stay dry and reduce warping and splitting of the wood.

After the first few uses the surface may feel rough as the wood fibres stand up when wet, this is normal and the surface can be gently scrubbed with a scouring outlet pad to make the surface smooth. After a few uses the surface should stay smooth and be much easier to clean. Wooden cutting boards are not dishwasher proof, hand wash only. When cleaning do not soak in water for a prolonged period.
