FAQs
What type of wood is this board made from?
The board is crafted from high-quality, natural acacia wood, known for its durability and distinctive grain patterns.
How should I clean the board?
Hand wash the board with mild soap and warm water. Dry it thoroughly immediately after washing and do not submerge it in water or place it in a dishwasher.
How often should I oil the board?
It's recommended to oil the board with a food-safe mineral oil every 4-6 weeks, or whenever the wood appears dry, to maintain its appearance and prevent cracking.
Can I use this board for cutting?
While it can be used for light cutting tasks, it is primarily designed for serving. For heavy-duty chopping, a dedicated cutting board is recommended to preserve the board's finish and unique edge.
What are the dimensions of the board?
The board measures approximately 3cm in height, 40cm in width, and 25cm in length (3(H) x 40(W) x 25(L)cm).
Is the wavy edge purely decorative?
The wavy edge is a design feature that adds aesthetic appeal. It provides a natural, organic look while maintaining the board's functionality for serving.
Can this board be used for hot items?
It is not recommended to place hot items directly onto the board for extended periods, as extreme heat can damage the wood. Use trivets if necessary.
Troubleshooting
Board appears dry or dull
Apply a coat of food-safe mineral oil to the surface and allow it to absorb. Repeat if necessary.
Board has minor scratches
For light scratches, you can try lightly sanding with very fine-grit sandpaper (220 grit or higher) and then re-oiling the affected area.
Board develops a slight warp
Ensure the board is stored flat and away from heat sources. Sometimes, re-oiling and storing flat can help it return to shape over time. Significant warping may be difficult to correct.
Food stains on the surface
For fresh stains, try cleaning immediately with a damp cloth and mild soap. For set-in stains, a paste of baking soda and water can sometimes help lift the discoloration, followed by rinsing and drying. Oiling afterwards is recommended.
