American Flag End-Grain Cutting Board

This beautiful cutting board was crafted by hand in the USA.  A food-grade mineral oil and beeswax finish bring to life the deep, beautiful grain of the maple and walnut board, but also protect it and make it safe to use in the kitchen.  The faces of the cutting board are end-grain for added durability when used for cutting.

Shipping

Currently, our lead time is 4-6 weeks for the cutting board to ship, but we do not guarantee that your order will ship in that time frame.  Each item is made to order and built by hand, so order volume and other factors can affect our lead time.  If you would like an update, please do not hesitate to reply to your order confirmation email and ask.  Once shipped it will be in the hands of UPS on timing for delivery (usually 3-5 days).  The cost of standard shipping is included in the price for destinations within the United States.  You may, of course, upgrade to faster shipping, but please realize that the upgraded shipping time relates to the time it takes to travel from the shop to your door and is entirely outside of our control.  Purchasing upgraded shipping DOES NOT speed up the production of your item.  If you are shipping to another country, you may be subject to additional fees for shipping.  You may also be subject to additional taxes or tariffs imposed by your country.

Care and Maintenance

•  NEVER submerge your cutting board in water for any length of time.  Wood is porous and can soak up large amounts of water, which could destroy the board.  Instead, clean with a damp, soapy cloth or sponge, rinse, and then immediately dry the board.

• DO NOT put your board in a dishwasher.  It is not dishwasher safe, and doing so will result in irreparable damage it the piece.

• DO NOT use any type of vegetable or olive oil.  Some oils can turn rancid, which can result in a health hazard or lead to some pretty horrible smells.

• DO  use food-grade mineral oil to protect and condition your board.  Every fourth or fifth use or anytime the board develops a "dry" look, apply food-grade mineral oil by wiping it with a cloth, allowing it to soak in, and wiping away any excess. You do not have to use any kind of special "cutting board formula."  Any food-grade mineral oil from your local drugstore or Amazon will do.  

Over time, your board will likely get knife marks and other scrapes across the surface.  If it does, just pick up a sanding block from your local home improvement store in 220 grit, and sand until they disappear.  You can also use an orbital sander.  Please remember to use normal safety precautions when sanding. 

Once you've sanded it back to its original glory, apply Walrus Oil or any food-grade mineral oil liberally, let sit for twenty minutes, wipe away the excess, and then repeat an hour later.  Two coats should be plenty.  You can also add a coat of Walrus Oil Wood Wax for added protection.
