Frequently Asked Questions
Are your cutting boards handmade?
Yes! Every cutting board is handcrafted in our Wisconsin workshop. We carefully select each piece of wood, precision-cut and glue the boards, sand them to a silky finish, and apply food-safe mineral oil and beeswax by hand.
What wood is best for cutting boards?
Hard maple and black walnut are the gold standards for cutting boards. Hard maple is incredibly durable with a tight grain that resists bacteria and is gentle on knives. Black walnut offers rich color, excellent stability, and beautiful contrast in mixed-wood designs.
What's the difference between end grain and edge grain?
End grain cutting boards expose the wood's end fibers, creating a self-healing surface that's gentle on knives and exceptionally durable. Edge grain boards showcase long, continuous grain patterns and are lighter in weight while still offering excellent strength for everyday use.
How do I care for my cutting board?
Hand wash with warm soapy water and dry immediately. Never soak or put in the dishwasher. Apply food-safe mineral oil monthly and a beeswax conditioner every few months to keep the wood nourished and protected.
Artisanal craftsmanship
Born from a love for tradition, we celebrate craftsmanship and the stories wood can tell.
