Why We Choose Only Domestic Hardwoods for Our Boards

Choosing the right material is crucial for the quality and durability of our cutting boards. That’s why at Recipeboard.com, we exclusively use domestic hardwoods sourced within the USA. These types of wood not only provide the sturdiness needed for a frequently used kitchen item but also offer the aesthetic beauty that makes each board a work of art.

Domestic hardwoods like maple, walnut, and cherry are known for their dense grain patterns, which are ideal for detailed engravings. These woods are also incredibly durable, able to withstand the wear and tear of kitchen use while maintaining their integrity and appearance over time. By using only domestic hardwoods, we also support local industries and minimize our ecological footprint, ensuring that our products are as sustainable as they are beautiful. The choice to use domestic woods reflects our commitment to delivering a product that is not only functional but also crafted with care for our environment and community.

Caring for Your Hand-Carved Board to Ensure its Longevity

To ensure that your Recipeboard.com hand-carved board serves you for years while maintaining its beauty, proper care is crucial. First and foremost, avoid exposing the board to extreme temperatures or moisture. After use, it should be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth and then immediately dried. It's important to avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbers, as they can damage the wood surface and the detailed engraving.

About once a month, we recommend applying a food-safe mineral oil to the wood. This not only helps to seal the moisture and keep the wood from drying out but also enhances the grain of the wood, making the engravings stand out. Regular oiling keeps the wood conditioned, ensuring that it remains durable and beautiful. By following these simple steps, you can protect your investment and ensure that your board remains a vibrant part of your kitchen and dining experiences.
