Collection: Caring for Your Premium Wooden Board

A handcrafted hardwood board is built to last a lifetime. Because wood is a natural, living material, a simple maintenance routine is essential to keep it from drying out, warping, or cracking over time.

The Golden Rules

  • Wash Wisely: Hand-wash your board with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. Wipe away excess moisture immediately and let it air-dry standing upright on its side.

  • The Absolute Nevers: Never submerge your board in water, and never place it in the dishwasher. Heat and prolonged water exposure are the enemies of fine timber.

Hydrate & Seal

To preserve the deep, natural luster of the timber and build a resilient, water-resistant barrier, we recommend treating your board every 3 to 4 weeks depending on usage:

  1. Hydrate with Mineral Oil: Our pure, food-safe mineral oil penetrates deep into the wood fibers, conditioning the timber from the inside out to ensure stability against atmospheric shifts. Simply work in with a clean lint free cloth, allow to soak in and wipe off any excess.

  2. Seal with Board Butter: Hand-blended right here in Kildare using pure Irish beeswax from Dingle in Co Kerry and premium oils, our board butter creates a smooth surface barrier. It locks in deep moisture, repels stubborn stains, and leaves a gorgeous satin finish. Simply work in with a clean lint free cloth, allow to soak and wipe off any excess. 

Either / or is fine but we would recommend both for best results.
