FAQs

Can I put this board in the dishwasher?

No, this board is not dishwasher safe. High heat and prolonged moisture in a dishwasher will cause the wood to warp, crack, and potentially split.

Is the live edge safe for food handling?

Yes, the live edge is sanded and finished to be food-safe, though it is primarily designed for aesthetic presentation and is not intended as a primary cutting surface.

What type of oil should I use to treat the board?

Use only food-grade mineral oil, butcher block oil, or specialized wood-conditioning wax. Avoid cooking oils like olive or vegetable oil, as they can go rancid over time.

Does the board have rubber feet?

No, this model uses integrated grooves on the underside to provide stability instead of rubber feet, maintaining a cleaner, more natural aesthetic.

Is acacia wood good for knives?

Yes, acacia is a hardwood that is gentle on knife blades while remaining dense enough to withstand daily professional use.

Why does my board look different from the photos?

Because this board features an authentic live edge and is made from natural acacia wood, every piece has unique grain patterns and edge shapes.

Troubleshooting

Board is slipping on the countertop

Clean both the underside grooves of the board and the countertop surface with a damp cloth to remove any grease or residue.

Surface looks dry or dull

Apply a generous coat of food-grade mineral oil to the entire board and allow it to soak in overnight before wiping off the excess.

Deep knife marks are appearing

Lightly sand the surface with fine-grit sandpaper following the direction of the grain, then re-oil the board to restore the finish.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely durable and sturdy 6cm thick construction
  • Aesthetically striking live edge design for presentation
  • Stable surface prevents slipping during food preparation
  • High-quality, long-lasting acacia wood material

  • Large size may be difficult to fit in standard kitchen sinks for cleaning

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Downton Interiors chopping board, follow these guidelines:

  1. Initial Setup: Before the first use, lightly coat the board with food-grade mineral oil or beeswax to seal the wood pores and prevent staining.
  2. Cleaning: Hand wash only using warm water and mild soap. Never submerge the board in water or leave it soaking, as this can cause the wood to warp or crack.
  3. Drying: Immediately wipe the board dry with a clean towel and stand it upright to air-dry completely on all sides.
  4. Maintenance: Re-oil the board every 4 to 8 weeks depending on frequency of use to keep the wood hydrated and maintain the deep brown color.
  5. Compatibility: While it features anti-slip grooves, ensure your countertop is clean and dry before placement for the best stability.
