Before Use:Â Handwash and dry thoroughly. Handwash Only – not dishwasher safe.
Maintain regularly by applying paraffin oil (or similar) on both sides. Wipe off excess oil and let the board dry for 24 hours before next use. The nature of Oakwood makes the wood fibres rise up slightly after washing in water the first few times. This can be trimmed away with a piece of fine-grain sandpaper during the oiling process (rub in grain direction). Naturally, Oakwood can have different colours ranging from bright to more of a darker shade – its colour will over time, during regular use and cleaning, become more uniform. Store in a vertical position when not in use.
