Frequently Asked Questions

Why are wood cutting boards better than plastic cutting boards?

Wood cutting boards are often considered better than plastic because hardwoods like hickory, walnut, and cherry are naturally antimicrobial, meaning bacteria die off more quickly on wood surfaces than on plastic. Plastic boards can trap deep knife grooves that harbor bacteria, even after washing. Wood, especially end grain cutting boards, is also more durable, gentle on knives, and provides a stable, long-lasting surface for food prep.

What types of wood are best for cutting boards?

We handcraft our cutting boards from premium hardwoods such as maple, walnut, and cherry, which are durable, gentle on knives, and naturally resistant to bacteria. Each wood type offers unique grain patterns and colors, giving you both beauty and functionality in your kitchen.

Are your cutting boards handmade?

Yes, all of our wood cutting boards are handmade in Maricopa, Arizona, with care taken to highlight the natural grain of each piece of wood. Unlike mass-produced boards, our handcrafted boards are built to last for years. We are a Veteran Owned business.

How do I clean and sanitize a wooden cutting board?

After each use, wash your cutting board with mild soap and warm water, then dry immediately with a towel. To sanitize, you can use a mixture of vinegar and water or sprinkle coarse salt and rub with half a lemon. Avoid soaking your board or putting it in the dishwasher, as this can cause warping and cracking.

How often should I oil my cutting board?

We recommend oiling your board every 3–4 weeks with food-grade mineral oil or a board conditioner. Oiling helps maintain the wood’s moisture, prevents cracks, and keeps your board looking beautiful. We offer Board Butter as an add on to your order.

Do you make custom or engraved cutting boards?

Yes! We offer custom cutting boards with engraving options, perfect for weddings, anniversaries, housewarmings, and corporate gifts. You can personalize your board with names, dates, or logos to create a one-of-a-kind keepsake.

Are wooden cutting boards safe for meat and vegetables?

Yes, wood cutting boards are safe for both meat and vegetables. Studies show that hardwoods like oak and walnut naturally resist bacteria. For best results, use separate boards for raw meats and produce to avoid cross-contamination.

How long will a wooden cutting board last?

With proper care, a high-quality hardwood cutting board can last for decades. Regular cleaning, drying, and oiling will extend its life and keep it in excellent condition.

What is the difference between edge grain and end grain cutting boards?

-Edge grain boards are made with wood strips aligned lengthwise. They’re durable, budget-friendly, and great for everyday use.
-End grain boards show the “checkerboard” pattern of wood fibers. They are premium boards, highly resistant to knife marks, and gentle on your blades.
