Cutting Board Care

WOODEN CUTTING BOARD CARE GUIDE
Handcrafted for everyday use. Built to last a lifetime.

Thank you for choosing a handcrafted wooden cutting board by Timbertooth Woodworks. Each piece is made with care and designed to serve you for years to come. Proper maintenance will keep your board looking beautiful and performing at its best.

CLEANING
• Hand wash with warm water and mild soap
• Rinse promptly and dry immediately with a towel
• Stand upright or on edge to allow full air drying

Do not place in the dishwasher, soak in water, or microwave.

OILING & MAINTENANCE
• Maintain regularly using food-grade mineral oil or a cutting board conditioner (oil & wax blend)
• Apply once a month or whenever the wood appears dry or dull
• Apply generously, allow it to soak in overnight, then wipe off any excess
• Conditioners provide added protection and help create a smooth, water-resistant finish

If the surface looks dry or feels rough, it’s time to reapply.

ODORS & STAINS
• Sprinkle coarse salt over the surface
• Rub with half a lemon to naturally lift odors and stains
• Rinse lightly, dry thoroughly, and reapply oil or conditioner if needed

IMPORTANT NOTES
• Avoid harsh cleaners, bleach, or abrasive scrubbers
• Do not expose to excessive heat or prolonged moisture
• Natural knife marks will develop over time—this is normal and part of the board’s character
