Wood is an organic material that changes through time and use. It can become dry and crack if not maintained correctly. Your board is seasoned with multiple coats of food-safe mineral oil and beeswax.To ensure that your board lasts for years to come andretains its originalbeauty, it is important to clean your board after each use. We also highly recommend oiling your board once a month with a food-safe mineral oil to give it a rejuvenating finish and to protect the wood from any damage.
