Things don't always go to plan!
Sprung a leak!

We love seeing our timber cheese and charcuterie boards being put to good use — loaded up with cheese, crackers, meats, dips and probably a little *“just one more piece”* than anyone intended. 😂

But just like anything special, your timber board needs a little care to keep it looking its best!

✨ **Here’s how to look after it:**

🧼 **Wash by hand**
Give it a gentle wash with warm water and a mild dish soap after use. Don’t soak it or leave it sitting in water.

🚫 **Keep it out of the dishwasher**
The heat and moisture can cause timber to dry out, warp or crack. Your board definitely does NOT enjoy a dishwasher spa day!

🌬️ **Let it dry properly**
Dry it with a clean tea towel and stand it upright or somewhere with good airflow so it can dry completely.

🪵 **Oil it regularly**
When the timber starts looking a little dry, dull or thirsty, it’s time for some love. We recommend using a **food-safe board oil/mineral oil**, followed by a food-safe board wax if desired.

📅 **How often?**
For a board that gets regular use, **every 4–6 weeks** is a good general guide. If you use it heavily, wash it frequently or notice the timber looking dry, give it some attention sooner. Boards that only come out for the occasional grazing platter may only need oiling a few times a year.

💧 **A good rule of thumb:**
If the timber starts looking like it could use a drink… it probably could! 😂

And remember — timber is a natural material. A few marks, knife lines and changes in colour are all part of the character and story of a well-loved board.

Take care of it and it’ll keep serving up the good stuff for years to come. 🧀🥂

We have said this before, but I still love the surprise you get when you start milling a slab. Love this colour and the grain!

In-between making some bigger pieces we have made these 2 stunning Charcuterie Boards.
The first board is huge! Measuring 28.5cm x 57cm x 3cm and made from Australian Hardwood featuring Forrest Green Resin with a splash of Black Onyx Resin for depth in those swirls. This piece is like a piece of art. The second Charcuterie board is completely different. A mixture of Blue Resins and different timber pieces, it is light, bright and fun. You can use it on either side, making it not only gorgeous but versatile. 35.5cm diameter and 3cm deep. Both of these Charcuterie boards are ready for a new home. Msg us for details.
