How to Utilize and Maintain Your Edge Grain Wood Cutting Board

To keep your 1-1/2″ Edge Grain Wood Cutting Board in top shape, consistency is key. After each use, ensure the surface is free of debris by wiping it thoroughly with a clean cloth and a mild soap-and-water solution, then towel-dry immediately. To prevent the wood from drying out or cracking, apply an even coat of food-safe board oil at least once a month—or more frequently if the board sees heavy daily use. Allow the oil to penetrate the wood fibers overnight, then wipe away any excess. With this simple care routine, your board will maintain its protective barrier and beautiful luster for decades.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which wood type is best for my kitchen?

Both Maple and Walnut are exceptional choices for edge-grain boards. Northern Hard Rock Maple is beloved for its classic, bright aesthetic and high durability, while American Black Walnut offers a darker, elegant look that makes a stunning statement on any countertop. Both are equally effective for preserving knife sharpness.

Is it safe to wash this board with water?

Yes, you can wipe the board down with a mild soap-and-water solution. However, you must never submerge the board in water or run it through the dishwasher, as this will cause the wood to warp or crack. Always dry it immediately with a towel.

How often do I really need to oil the board?

We recommend oiling your board at least once a month. If you notice the wood looking dull, light in color, or feeling “thirsty” to the touch, it is time to apply a fresh coat of board oil to nourish the fibers and maintain its food-safe surface.

Can I use both sides of this cutting board?

Yes, the board is fully reversible. Utilizing both sides is a great way to ensure even wear over time and allows you to keep one side dedicated to produce and the other to meats, helping to maintain a cleaner cooking environment.
