FAQs

Is this board dishwasher safe?

No, you must hand wash this board. Dishwashers use heat and excessive moisture that will cause the solid wood to warp or crack.

Can I use the live edge side for cutting?

While the entire surface is wood, the flat central area is designed for cutting. The live edge is primarily for aesthetic character and is less practical for intensive chopping.

How heavy is the board?

Due to its 6cm thickness and solid acacia construction, the board is quite heavy and substantial, designed to stay put during use.

Does the board come pre-oiled?

It is best practice to oil the board upon arrival to provide a protective barrier against moisture before your first use.

What should I do if the board warps?

Warping is usually caused by moisture imbalance. Ensure the board is stored flat and always dried immediately after cleaning.

Troubleshooting

The board feels dry or dull

Apply a generous coat of food-safe mineral oil or beeswax conditioner and let it soak in overnight.

Minor surface scuffs or knife marks

Lightly sand the affected area with fine-grit sandpaper, then re-oil the entire surface to restore uniformity.

Board sliding on the counter

Ensure the surface is completely dry and the grooves on the underside are free of debris or kitchen grease.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely durable and heavy-duty build quality
  • Natural aesthetic adds character to kitchen islands
  • Stable base prevents unwanted movement while slicing
  • High-quality, sustainable acacia wood construction

Cons

  • Substantial weight makes it difficult to move for quick rinsing
  • Irregular edges are harder to clean than straight-cut boards
  • Requires manual hand washing; not dishwasher safe

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your acacia board, avoid submerging it in water for extended periods, as this can lead to warping or cracking. Before first use, it is recommended to apply a food-grade mineral oil to seal the wood grain. For daily maintenance, wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry immediately with a clean towel. Store the board in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources like ovens or radiators to prevent the wood from drying out or splitting. Because every board features a unique live edge, ensure you have a designated flat spot on your worktop that accommodates the natural shape of the slab.
