Preservation
Care Guide
Whether it’s a crib board, a backgammon board or a charcuterie board, your piece is made to last a lifetime. A little care keeps it looking beautiful for years.
Everyday Cleaning
- Dust with a soft, dry microfibre cloth.
- For marks or spills, wipe with a damp cloth and a drop of mild soap.
- Dry it right away — never soak or submerge your piece.
- Skip glass cleaners, ammonia and abrasive pads, which can cloud or scratch epoxy.
Crib Boards & Game Boards
- Give the board a quick wipe after game night to remove fingerprints and crumbs.
- Keep peg holes clear with a soft brush or a puff of compressed air.
- Insert and remove pegs gently — never force a peg into a hole.
- Store pegs in the board's peg storage or a small pouch so they don't get lost.
- Roll dice in a dice cup or tray, and avoid sliding heavy or metal pieces across the epoxy.
Charcuterie Boards & Serving Pieces
- Food-contact surfaces are sealed with food-safe epoxy and finishes.
- Clean before and after food contact, then dry right away.
- Use it for serving, not cutting.
- Treat the wood with food-safe mineral oil every 2–4 weeks.
Protecting the Finish
- Keep it out of long periods of direct sunlight to prevent fading or yellowing.
- Set hot mugs, dishes and drinks on a coaster or trivet, not directly on the surface.
- A light coat of beeswax or wood conditioner each season keeps the wood rich.
- For deep scratches or chips in the epoxy, contact us about repair or refinishing.
Temperature & Storage
- Store or display your piece somewhere cool and dry, away from heaters and fireplaces.
- Don't leave it in a hot car, a cold garage or anywhere it could freeze.
- Store boards flat, or upright on a stand, so they don't warp.
- When travelling to a game night, wrap it in a soft cloth or bag to protect the finish.
What to Avoid
- The dishwasher, soaking or running water.
- Bleach, ammonia, glass cleaner and other harsh chemicals.
- Cutting, or dragging sharp or metal objects, on the surface.
- Very hot items placed directly on it.
