Board Care & FAQs
A few simple habits keep your hardwood cutting board ready for everyday cooking, serving, and gathering.
Three habits for a well-loved board
- Wash by hand. Use mild soap and warm water after use. Never soak your board or put it in a dishwasher.
- Dry right away. Towel dry, then let the board air-dry with air reaching both sides. Keep it away from direct heat.
- Oil when the wood looks dry. Apply food-grade mineral oil or a conditioner intended for wooden cutting boards to a clean, dry surface. Follow the conditioner instructions and wipe away excess.
Before you choose your board
Where are Birchwood boards made?
Our cutting boards are handcrafted by our family in Wisconsin, with attention to wood selection, construction, shaping, and finishing.
Will my board look exactly like the photo?
Every piece of hardwood has its own color and grain. Your board will have natural variations that make it unique. Use the product description for the listed woods, dimensions, and features.
How do I order a personalized name?
Choose the Personalized End Grain Cutting Board and enter the name in the required personalization field when adding it to your cart. Enter capitalization exactly as you want it to appear and check spelling carefully.
Can I request a different size or custom design?
Yes—start with a custom-order inquiry before purchasing. Tell us the size, wood preferences, design idea, quantity, and any date you are working toward so we can discuss the details.
