How to care for your board →Everything you want to know.
How big and how heavy is the butcher block?
40 x 40 cm and 6 cm thick, made of solid beech. It weighs about 7.1 kg, so it does not move while you chop.
Can I chop through bone on the butcher block?
Yes. The butcher block is made for heavy chopping: with 6 cm of solid beech it sits steady and stays flat, even when you chop on bone.
Is the butcher block made from one piece of wood?
No. It is built from carefully glued pieces of beech. That makes it extra sturdy and gives it a long life.
Does the butcher block have a juice groove?
No. The whole 40 x 40 cm surface is workspace, enough for meat, vegetables and herbs at the same time.
What is the difference with the cutting board?
The cutting board is 45 x 36 cm and 3 cm thick, for everyday cutting. The butcher block is twice as thick and almost twice as heavy, for heavy chopping and large pieces of meat.
What comes with the version with care set?
TheWootz board oil made of 100% grapeseed oil, a microfibre cloth and beeswax. Everything to look after the butcher block properly from day one.
What should I do when the butcher block arrives?
First give it a generous coat of board oil and let it soak in overnight. After that, oil it twice a month with about 20 ml and let the oil soak in for 4 hours.
Can I give a gift card instead?
Yes. Not sure which board to choose? Give the digital gift card. It arrives straight in your inbox. That way they choose for themselves.

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.
Read the care guide →How quickly is my order delivered?
If you order before 3 pm on a weekday, your order goes out in the post the same day. In the Netherlands and Belgium you usually have it within 1 to 2 working days. If you order later or at the weekend, we send it on the next working day.
What does shipping cost?
Shipping to the Netherlands and Belgium is free from 25 euros. If you order for less, you pay 2,99 euros shipping. A board costs more than 25 euros, so we always ship it free of charge.
Can I return my order?
Yes. A 14-day cooling-off period. Returns are possible unused and in the original packaging, return costs are for you. The statutory warranty applies to everything. The period starts on the day you receive your order. Let us know before you send anything back.
How food creators use their board.
Food creators we work with show what ends up on their board.
Made in a social workshop in Friesland.
There, people who struggle to find work learn a trade. No assembly line, but one craftsman per board. Small variations in the grain are part of it: every board is literally unique.
