Congratulations on your exquisite handcrafted product from Stag Design Shop! To ensure your investment stands the test of time, here are some simple care guidelines to keep your board looking stunning for years to come:

1. Seasoning:

• For cutting boards, season them regularly with a food-grade mineral oil or beeswax. This helps nourish the wood, enhances its natural beauty, and creates a protective barrier against moisture.

2. Cleaning:

• Hand wash your board with mild soap and warm water. Avoid harsh detergents and never soak your board, as prolonged exposure to water can lead to warping or cracking.

3. Drying:

• After washing, towel-dry your board thoroughly and allow it to air-dry completely before storing. Never leave it in a damp or humid environment.

4. Avoid Direct Sunlight and Heat:

• Keep your board away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent the wood from drying out or undergoing color changes. Exposure to extreme temperatures can lead to cracks or warping.

5. Use Proper Cutting Techniques:

• While our boards are designed for durability, using the proper cutting techniques can prolong their life. Avoid excessive force, and use a sharp knife to prevent unnecessary stress on the wood.

6. Rejuvenate with Oil:

• Over time, your board may benefit from a fresh coat of mineral oil or beeswax. Apply a thin layer and allow it to absorb for a few hours or overnight. Wipe off any excess before use.

7. Display and Storage:

• Display your board proudly, but be mindful of its surroundings. Avoid placing it near heat vents or in direct sunlight for extended periods. When not in use, store it in a cool, dry place.

8. Regular Inspections:

• Periodically inspect your board for any signs of wear, such as scratches or cracks. Address any issues promptly to ensure the longevity of your cherished piece.

By following these simple care instructions, you'll not only preserve the beauty of your handcrafted board but also contribute to its lasting legacy.
