We developed the 14" seat height chairs and 24" high table for people who felt their children would get longer use from this size.

  1. Wash with mild soap and water when needed.
  2. Dry immediately with towel.  Air dry.
  3. Rub with a good cutting board wax to rejuvenate the wood and maintain cell structure. (Don’t use cooking, furniture, lemon, orange oils; or Murphy’s Oil Soap because they may become rancid or tacky.)
  4. Never soak your board in water or put in the dishwasher or microwave.
  5. If you get a little fuzz on the wood with the first cleaning, a light sanding eliminates it.
  6. If you want to remove knife marks from your board, simply sand with 150 grit sandpaper using a block sander followed by 220 grit paper and finally 400 grit.  Wax your board before using.

There are many good cutting board and butcher block waxes or conditioners - such as Three Beautiful Bees or John Boos - with natural ingredients like beeswax, mineral oil, and linseed oil.

With minimal care, you will preserve the appearance and have many years of service and satisfaction.
