Caring for Your Cutting Board

At Three Feathers Woodcraft, we take pride in crafting beautiful and durable cutting boards designed to last a lifetime. To help you keep your board in top condition, we've included a complimentary container of our specially formulated board butter with every purchase. This all-natural blend is designed to nourish and protect your cutting board, ensuring it remains a stunning and functional centerpiece in your kitchen for years to come.

Cleaning Your Cutting Board

Proper care starts with proper cleaning. Always wash your cutting board by hand with warm, soapy water. Never put your cutting board in the dishwasher! The intense heat and harsh detergents can cause the wood to warp, crack, and dry out.  

After washing, allow your board to air dry thoroughly on its end. This allows for optimal airflow and prevents moisture from getting trapped, which can lead to warping. You can also wipe it down with a clean towel to speed up the drying process.

Nourishing Your Cutting Board with Board Butter

To keep your cutting board looking its best and prevent cracking, it's important to moisturize the wood regularly with our board butter. You'll likely only need to apply the butter every 4 to 6 weeks, or whenever the wood starts to look or feel dry.

Applying Board Butter:

  1. Less is more: Scoop a small amount of board butter onto your fingers – a little goes a long way!

  2. Apply evenly: Gently rub the butter onto the entire surface of the board, including the sides and edges.

  3. Wipe away excess: After 24 hours, use a clean, lint-free cloth (like an old t-shirt or rag) to wipe away any excess butter.

By following these simple steps, you can ensure your Three Feathers Woodcraft cutting board remains a beautiful and functional part of your kitchen for generations to come.
