Cutting Board and Kitchen Utensil Care Instructions

A cutting board is a natural wood product that will warp or crack if not properly maintained. Please
follow the instructions below to help insure that your cutting board lasts for years and years.

How To Maintain Your Butcher Block Cutting Board
Your cutting board has come with a food safe mineral oil finish applied during finishing. I would suggest
giving it a quick hand washing with hot soapy water before the first use. Dry with a towel. Let dry while
leaning on something to allow both sides to dry evenly. Uneven drying will cause your board to cup or
warp. Never put in the dishwasher!

Extremes of humidity and dryness can swell and shrink hard wood enough to cause small seasonal checks to appear, usually around the edges of end grain cutting boards. This possibility, although remote, is an unavoidable condition of enjoying the character and beauty of a living material. You can help preserve your cutting board by keeping your home humidified in the winter, and by frequent applications of mineral oil.

You will need to apply a food safe mineral oil regularly to properly maintain your cutting board. Never use
corn, olive, or vegetable oil as they will become rancid in time. I recommend at least a once a month
application. Apply a generous coat to both sides and let set overnight. Wipe off the excess with a rag, and
it is ready to use. You can also get a cutting board/butcher block conditioner at Home Depot in the Paint
Department. Keep your cutting board clean and dry. Scrub your board after each use with hot soapy
water, and dry with a towel. You will notice that most of the moisture will evaporate off the surface
quickly. If it doesn’t, it’s time to apply more finish.
If your cutting board becomes gouged, you can sand the surface until smooth. Apply an oil finish and your
cutting board will look brand new!

Getting Rid of Odors
If the odors are acidic in nature, sprinkle the board with baking soda and a small amount of water. Let it
sit for a half hour, then rinse.
If the odors are alkaline in nature, spray with white vinegar and let sit for a half hour before rinsing.

I forget to take pictures of my finished handmade items about 50% of the time but I’m going to get better at posting the things I make. Here is a cutting board made mostly of black walnut with accents of Purple Heart and cherry. Let me know if there is anything you like. Even if it’s sold already I can normally have one made for you in a few days.

Two blanket ladders going to their new home this week. It was my first time finishing anything in a distressed/weathered white. The pictures don’t show the distressed/weathered look nearly as good as they look in person.

I’ve been on an extended break from the shop for several reasons but I’ve recently started back. I’ll start posting some of the small projects I’ve been making. This one is a Tealight candle holder. Black walnut, Purple Heart, and cherry.

Finally got this one done. I’m working a lot slower right now but will get back to my normal soon. Still recovering my normal pre-Covid energy levels.

With everything I’ve had going on this year I haven’t been able to work I. The shop very much. It felt good to get back in tonight and work on a cutting board.
