Dickinson Woodworking Cutting Board

Yes, because it is handcrafted from mixed woods, you should treat it like any high-quality wooden board. Hand wash it with mild soap, dry it immediately, and apply a food-safe mineral oil or beeswax conditioner regularly to prevent the wood from drying out or cracking.

While the board is fully functional for meal prep, the tree shape creates irregular edges that may limit the space for chopping large vegetables or heavy-duty tasks. It is best utilized as a dedicated serving piece for charcuterie, cheese, or appetizers.

No. Because each board is handmade from multiple wood types, natural variations in grain pattern and color are expected. You should anticipate that your specific board will have a unique character that differs slightly from the images shown.

It is not recommended to place hot cookware directly on the board. Extreme heat can cause the wood to warp or damage the finish, especially given the artisanal, multi-wood construction.

Yes, Dickinson Woodworking finishes these boards to be food-safe and smooth. However, as with any natural wood product, you may feel subtle transitions where the different wood types are joined.
