Wood care

All of my items are built to be functional and you should feel free to use them as intended. If they are properly cared for they should provide you with many years of use and joy.

Cleaning

Wash after each use with warm water, mild soap and a soft sponge. Dry immediately and completely with a soft cloth or paper towel. Never put in the dishwasher!

Oiling

  • Your item has been treated with an FDA approved food-grade hard wax oil. You should re-oil your item whenever it starts to look "thirsty."

  • You must re-oil with a wax-based oil finish. If you apply a non-wax based oil it will gum up and never develop a good bond. I recommend Tried & True Original Wood Finish. Available at specialty hardwood stores or online. 

  • Clean and dry your board first.

  • Apply a very small amount of wax oil and rub it in with a soft cloth.

  • Let the wood absorb the wax oil for a few minutes then wipe down completely with a clean dry cloth.

  • Let dry for 24 hours before use.

Refinishing

Over time, your item may lose its soft buttery texture. Don't worry. You can bring it back to it's original glory. 

​

  • For $35 plus shipping, I will refinish your item for you. Send me an email to arrange this service. 

  • If you prefer to DIY, sand the item gently with the grain until it is smooth to the touch. Use 220 grit sandpaper. 

  • Wipe item with a damp cloth. 

  • Gently sand again and do not wipe.

  • With a clean dry soft cloth, apply a light layer of food-grade wax based oil (see "Oiling" section above and allow to soak in for a few minutes.

  • Wipe off excess oil with a clean dry cloth. 

  • Allow to dry for 24 hours before use.
