Can I engrave this cutting board? Yes. Custom engraving is available on all of our edge grain cutting boards, including names, dates, initials, or a short message. Engraved boards are made to order and are non-refundable, but if we make an error, we will replace the board.
How should I care for this cutting board? Hand wash with warm, soapy water right after use, dry it with a clean towel, and let it air dry completely, standing upright, before storing. Never soak it or put it in the dishwasher. Once a month, or whenever the wood looks dry, apply a coat of our organic coconut MCT oil, followed by a thin layer of our beeswax and carnauba board butter. This keeps the wood conditioned and helps prevent drying and cracking.
Will this cutting board warp over time? Not with proper care. Edge grain boards are built from long hardwood strips glued side by side, which makes them strong and stable. Regular oiling keeps the wood from drying out, and drying the board upright lets air reach both sides evenly. Avoid soaking it or leaving it wet on the counter.
Is an edge grain cutting board safe for my knives? Yes. Walnut, maple, and cherry are all hardwoods that are much gentler on knife edges than glass, stone, or bamboo boards. Edge grain is a durable, easy-care everyday surface. It will show light knife marks over time, which are a normal sign of use and can be refreshed with a light sanding and oiling.
Can I use this cutting board as a serving board? Absolutely. It makes a beautiful presentation piece for charcuterie, cheese, bread, and appetizers.
Maple: Its light, clean look is a bright backdrop for colorful food.
What is the finish made of? We make our finish in house in small batches from organic ingredients: coconut MCT oil and lemon essential oil, sealed with a board butter of the same oils blended with beeswax and carnauba wax. It is food safe and free of petroleum products and mineral oil. It contains coconut oil and beeswax.
