Everything you want to know.

If you cook every day, the cutting board (45 x 36 x 3 cm) is your board: roomy enough for vegetables, meat and bread. If you chop a lot or work with large cuts of meat, choose the butcher block (40 x 40 x 6 cm): twice as thick, heavy and rock steady. If you want to keep juice and moisture on the board, or you are looking for a gift, the luxury cutting board with juice groove is the finest choice. Still not sure? Use the board finder on the Boards page.

After use, wash it briefly with warm water and a little washing-up liquid, dry it straight away and leave it to dry upright. Twice a month, give it 20 ml of TheWootz board oil: rub it in thinly with a cloth and let it soak in, five minutes' work. If the wood feels dry or turns dull, do it a little more often. A thin layer of beeswax afterwards seals the wood further. Never in the dishwasher and never left to soak.

In a social workshop in Friesland, where people who struggle to find work learn a trade. Every board is made by hand from solid beech wood: no assembly line, one craftsman per board. The engraving is done there too.

The cutting board is 3 cm thick and made for everyday cutting. The butcher block is 6 cm of solid beech wood: it sits heavy and stable on the worktop and stays flat, even for heavy chopping on bone. Both are made from the same beech wood, which is strong and kind to your knives.

No. Water and heat are the fastest way to crack or warp a wooden board. Washing it briefly by hand and drying it straight away is enough, and never leave it in the washing-up water.

Preferably not. Olive oil and other oils from the kitchen cupboard are thicker, soak into the wood less well and have a smell and taste of their own. Grapeseed oil is thin, odourless and food safe. That is why TheWootz care oil is 100% grapeseed oil.

Oil soaks into the wood and feeds it from within, so it does not dry out or crack. Beeswax stays on the surface and closes the pores, so moisture soaks in less easily and the board has a lovely shine. For the best result: oil first, then a thin layer of wax. That is why the care duo exists.

At 20 ml per treatment and two treatments a month, a 250 ml bottle lasts about six months and a 500 ml bottle about a year. A 20 ml bottle is exactly one treatment: handy to try, or to give away.

Yes. You can subscribe to the single bottles of grapeseed oil from 20 to 500 ml: you get 5% off every delivery and the oil arrives automatically at the rhythm that goes with the bottle: 20 and 40 ml every month, 100 ml every two months, 200 and 250 ml every four months and 500 ml every six months. You can pause or cancel your subscription at any time in your account. Not sure about the size? Use the oil calculator: it works out how much oil you use per month.

Knife marks are part of a board that gets used. Sand deeper scratches away lightly with fine sandpaper, always along the grain. Wipe off the dust, oil it generously and leave it to soak in for 4 hours: your board is as good as new.
