FAQ
Cutting boards
Does my cutting board look exactly like in your photos?
The beauty of wooden products lies in the fact that they have a natural beauty given by nature – therefore, each cutting board has its own unique wood grain and color tone. It is not exactly the same, but similar – your cutting board is unique!
Can I use a serrated knife on a wooden cutting board?
Yes, but carefully. Serrated knives are designed to cut through hard surfaces, such as bread crust, and their "sawing" motion can damage the cutting board, leaving deep scratches or causing surface damage.
If you need to use a serrated knife, avoid pressing the blade fully against the board while cutting. Instead, cut the bread in half and then turn it 180 degrees, then cut through from the other side. This helps protect your cutting board from damage.
What is the difference between a side-grain and an end-grain cutting board?
Edge-grain cutting board is made so that the wood fibers run horizontally, along the edge of the wood. This is the simplest and fastest way to make cutting boards, but the problem is that microbes do not penetrate into the board and remain on its surface. Meanwhile, on an end-grain cutting board, microbes "fall" deeper into the board.
An end-grain cutting board is made so that the tree rings are oriented upwards, relative to the work surface. This cut highlights the tree rings and the wood grain pattern well. Although making such boards is more complicated and expensive, they are especially gentle on knives. The knife cuts between the fibers, not the fibers themselves. Additionally, the fibers close up after the cut, helping to preserve the sharpness of the knife blade and the integrity of the surface for longer.
Do all cutting boards come with legs?
Yes, all our end-grain cutting boards come with a set of legs of your choice – either gold or black color.
Is cutting meat on my cutting board safe?
Yes! Wooden cutting boards are naturally suitable for cutting meat. All the woods we work with contain natural oils that have antibacterial properties. If the cutting board is properly washed, maintained, oiled, and occasionally waxed, it retains a protective layer on its surface.
This, together with the natural antibacterial properties of the wood, prevents bacterial growth and makes the cutting board completely safe.
Do you offer personalized engraving?
We are very pleased that you want to personalize the cutting board!
Unfortunately, we do not currently offer personal engraving.
Why not use plastic for cutting boards?
There are several reasons why we do not produce plastic cutting boards nor recommend using them.
The first reason is sustainability. We believe that everyone can contribute to the future of our planet – it can be as simple as choosing a wooden cutting board instead of plastic. This reduces the use of plastic (many thanks to Mother Nature!) and additionally, wood is significantly more durable – with proper care, it lasts much longer than a plastic board.
Secondly – cleanliness. Plastic cutting boards easily get scratched and damaged, creating an ideal breeding ground for bacteria. At the same time, it is known that wood has natural properties that prevent the spread of harmful bacteria and microbes.
Thirdly – using plastic cutting boards damages knives on their surface. You have probably seen plastic boards full of cut marks. Think about where all that damaged plastic goes? Some of it breaks off in small pieces and ends up in the food.
Wooden cutting boards = clean earth, clean board, and clean body.
Why don't you make cutting boards from bamboo?
We do not recommend bamboo cutting boards for several reasons.
Reason one: bamboo is undoubtedly a sustainable material due to its rapid growth, but it is not a particularly durable cutting board material and over time it starts to crack and deteriorate. Bamboo cutting boards often need to be replaced, so they may not actually be that environmentally friendly. If the board does not end up in a processing factory, it will likely end up in a landfill. A well-maintained wooden cutting board lasts years longer than any bamboo board. Quality before quantity!
Reason two: bamboo is actually a grass, not wood, and it is significantly harder than most hardwoods, which makes even the highest quality knives dull quickly. Wood is a much more suitable material for your knives.
Do you have a one-piece unglued cutting board?
We do not offer cutting boards made from a single large piece of solid wood. Using a single solid piece would lead to serious quality issues, as properly made wooden cutting boards are crafted from carefully selected wood strips that are glued together.
This construction ensures a stronger, more durable board that maintains its flatness and stability for a long time.
Are your cutting boards free from PFAS and toxins?
Absolutely! We make our cutting boards only from non-toxic, food-grade materials. We avoid formaldehyde-based glues and anything else potentially harmful.
Our cutting boards are completely free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), BPA, microplastics, mineral oil, PFOA, and phthalates – so you can be sure they are as safe as they are beautiful.
Do you offer custom designs and dimensions?
No, currently we do not offer custom designs or dimensions

Did you offer gift wrapping?
We do not offer separate gift wrapping because it is already very nicely done and can be considered gift packaging. You can view our packaging on our Instagram page or TikTok channel.
We hope you appreciate it :)
What payment methods do you have available?
We currently offer various payment options, including bank cards, as well as PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay.
Maintenance
Are your cutting boards pre-finished?
Yes, all our cutting boards are pre-treated, so there is no need to oil them immediately. Before first use, simply rinse the board lightly with water and soap or a mild detergent. For additional care, you can apply the first layer of oil within one month after receiving the board. Keep in mind that all wooden cutting boards require regular oiling as part of maintenance.
Which dishwashing detergent should I use?
Use a gentle dishwashing detergent — strong detergents containing alcohol can remove the natural oils of the wood, causing it to dry out.
Why do I need to oil my cutting board?
Your cutting board craves the same as you do! Regular oiling is important to maintain the health and durability of the board. It prevents unwanted moisture where bacteria can multiply and protects the cutting board from drying out and cracking.
How often should I oil my cutting board?
It depends on how often you use it. If you cook every day and use your cutting board actively, you should oil it every two weeks. If you are more of an occasional cook, we recommend doing it at least once a month or as soon as the board feels dry.
What oil should I use?
Oil for cutting boards and food-safe beeswax.
Can I use cooking oils to oil the cutting board?
It is not recommended. Although it may seem like a good idea to use oil available at home, plant-based oils (e.g., from olives, nuts, seeds) contain various organic substances and do not provide the nutrients necessary for wood. These oils are rich in fats and can become rancid when oxidized, resulting in an unpleasant odor transferring to the wood. The only exception is "fractionated" coconut oil, which is processed to remain stable at room temperature and does not go rancid.
Can I wash my cutting board in the dishwasher?
Hand wash only, please! Wooden products should never be put in the dishwasher – it damages the table, causing it to crack and warp.
Can I place hot pots and pans on the cutting board?
Our cutting boards are not intended for holding hot pots and pans and should not be used for this purpose. Concentrated heat (pans, pots, stovetops, etc.) can leave permanent burn marks on the table. We strongly recommend using a coaster or trivet for this!
How to remove food odors or stubborn stains?
Simple! Rub with salt and lemon. Sprinkle coarse salt on the cutting board, cut the lemon in half and use it to rub the salt in, while squeezing lemon juice onto the board. The result is a pleasantly fragrant board.
Salt acts as an abrasive that helps remove stains (e.g., beet juice) and also destroys bacteria. Remove excess liquid with a clean kitchen towel or let the board dry in an upright position.
What is the best way to store a cutting board?
Visible in your kitchen! The best way to store a cutting board is to keep it at the edge of the countertop, supported against the wall or backsplash. This allows the board to dry properly after use, preventing moisture buildup and bacterial growth.
If this is not practical for you, depending on the size of the table or kitchen, it is very important that the board is completely dry before putting it away. We recommend drying it with a kitchen towel and letting it air dry for a few hours before placing it in a cabinet or pantry.
