About this deal
Follow the oil manufacturer’s instructions paying particular attention to engraving and draining grooves. Generally, the standard of the grain will fall in line with the price. Face grain cutting boards are the cheapest whilst end grain cutting boards are the most expensive. End grain cutting boards are by far the best option. They are very tough and unlikely to deform very easily, but more importantly their very composition is actually much better for the blade of your knife. The cleaning is relatively easy. Just use soap, a cloth and warm water to wipe down the board. If any stains have penetrated the surface then give that area a particularly good scrub in a circular motion.

The underside of the board also has four little non-slip silicone feet to keep it steady whilst chopping. With regards to general every day care- try to avoid emerging your board in water - wash it with warm soapy water, store it on a flat surface to avoid movement and do not subject the board to significant changes in temperature.

It’s much the same principle as sealing a wooden kitchen work-top and is pretty easy to do. As long as you have a small tub of an adequate sealant in your house you can easily seal a cutting board in just a matter of minutes. The kiln-dried process that our chopping boards go through ensures that they are ideal for interior use and will have minimal further movement in the future. Your chopping board will come hand sanded to a smooth finish and will be sent with a food-safe protective Board Butter (a blend of natural beeswax and food-grade oils, all produced and sourced in Wales). I would recommend at least an edge grain cutting board for oak, just don’t waste your time with face grain. But realistically, if you’re after a quality cutting board, end grain is the way to go.That means end grain boards are much easier on the blade and so your knife will retain its edge for far longer. Many people look for more than just practically alone when it comes to cutting boards. They are often a style item, an accessory that helps to improve the look of a kitchen.
