Cutting Board Care Instructions

To preserve the appearance and performance of your handcrafted maple board:

• Hand-wash with mild soap and warm water.

• Never soak the board or place it in the dishwasher.

• Dry promptly after washing.

• Apply food-safe mineral oil or a suitable cutting board conditioner as needed.

• Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and extreme temperature changes.

• Allow the board to dry thoroughly between uses.

Regular conditioning helps prevent the wood from becoming excessively dry and supports long-term use.
