Wood Care.
--
Your board has been treated with a food safe Beeswax based cream.
Extending Board Life
To extend the life of the cutting board we recommend using board cream every 2-3 months.
How to Treat
On a dry board, apply a small amount of cream onto the board. Using a soft cloth, buff the cream/wax into the wood in a circular pattern, forming a thin coat. Repeat over the entire surface of the board and especially the sides. It’s not necessary to let the wax soak into the board.
Don'ts
• Put the board in the dishwasher. The heat and water will warp and splinter the wood • Dunk or let the board stand in water. The wood will absorb water and potentially warp. • Use bleach. This will stain the wood and/or excessively dry the wood. • Put a wet board flat to dry. If the board dries on one side, it will cause the wood to warp.
