HANDMADE HOMEWARES

Your serving board is crafted with care and designed to last for years to come. To ensure its longevity and maintain its beauty, we recommend the following care instructions:

1. After each use, wipe your serving board clean with a damp cloth and mild dish soap. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as they may damage the wood finish.

2. Once cleaned, wipe the board dry immediately with a clean towel. Do not let the board air dry or drip dry, as excess moisture can cause warping or cracking.

3. To keep your serving board looking its best, we recommend applying a thin layer of premium quality board wax every month. This will help to nourish the wood and protect it from drying out.

4. Avoid placing your serving board in the dishwasher or submerging it in water, as this can damage the wood and affect its finish. Instead, hand wash your board with gentle care.

By following these simple care instructions, you can ensure that your serving board remains a beautiful and functional addition to your kitchen for years to come. If you have any further questions or concerns about caring for your board, please don't hesitate to contact us. We're here to help!

Just like your skin, wood requires regular moisturising and protection to prevent it from drying out and potentially cracking. We recommend using our specially formulated board wax once a month to keep your board hydrated and protected.

Here's how to oil your board effectively:

1. Ensure your board is clean and dry before applying the wax.

2. Apply a small amount of board wax onto the surface of the board using your bare hands.

3. Gently massage the wax into the wood, ensuring even coverage across the entire surface.

4. Allow the wax to penetrate the wood for a few minutes, then buff off any excess wax with a clean cloth.

5. Repeat this process monthly or as needed to maintain the health and appearance of your board.

Please note that we do not recommend using olive oil or canola oil to oil your board, as these oils can potentially cause bacterial growth or unpleasant smells over time.

By following these simple steps and using our recommended board wax, you can keep your board moisturised, protected, and looking its best for years to come. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We're here to help!

Yes, our boards are designed to be both functional and aesthetically pleasing. While we recommend using the wooden side of the board for heavier cutting tasks such as bread or meat, you can also use the resin side for lighter cutting tasks.

Here are some important points to consider:

1. The wooden side of our boards is meticulously sanded to provide a smooth surface for cutting, preserving the decorative resin side for presentation purposes. This dual-sided design eliminates the need for purchasing separate boards.

2. Cheese knives, with their more blunt edges, are safer to use on resin, but they may still cause slight scratches. We recommend serving harder cheeses on the wooden side to minimise any potential damage to the resin.

3. Rest assured, the resin we use is FDA approved, ensuring its safety for contact with food.

4. It's important to note that, similar to discussions surrounding microplastics, tiny particles could potentially be released from resin during cutting or use. While our boards undergo thorough quality checks, we recommend regular cleaning and inspection to ensure food safety.

By following these guidelines, you can enjoy using your resin board for a variety of cutting and serving tasks while maintaining its beauty and functionality. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We're here to help!

FAQ: What is the difference between the premium range and the acacia range?

Our premium range and acacia range both offer exceptional quality and craftsmanship, but there are some key differences to consider:

Premium Range:

- Crafted from 100% Australian sustainable Camphor Laurel wood, ensuring a locally sourced and eco-friendly product.

- Handmade locally with meticulous attention to detail, guaranteeing superior craftsmanship and durability.

- Constructed from thicker wood, minimizing the risk of warping and enhancing longevity.

- Consists of one solid piece of wood without any joints, providing enhanced resistance to water and humidity. With proper care, these boards can last a lifetime.

Acacia Range:

- Made from sturdy hardwood that has been joined together, offering durability and strength.

- While still durable, the joints in the acacia range may be more prone to water infiltration, potentially weakening the board over time.

- Proper care and maintenance are essential to prevent water damage and maintain the board's integrity.

- The presence of joints in the acacia range may create crevices where bacteria can accumulate, posing a slight risk compared to the seamless construction of the premium range.

Ultimately, both ranges offer high-quality options for your culinary needs. The premium range is ideal for those seeking maximum durability and longevity, while the acacia range provides a more affordable option with reliable performance when cared for properly.
