Products with selectable grain patterns from November are expected to ship sequentially starting December 1st. **A Gentle Reminder for Oversized Cutting Boards** This olive wood cutting board is a specially sized, solid wood piece, cut without joins or finishes. Due to its porous nature, it absorbs and releases moisture. Over time, slight warping or minor cracks may occur with prolonged use. These will not affect its function when used for serving, display, or plating. If using it as an extra-large cutting board, consider placing a soft cloth underneath to prevent slipping and minimize warping. We are committed to producing olive wood products without joins or finishes. Natural materials inherently carry a risk of change. Please carefully consider if this material suits your usage habits. ***Due to the nature of wood, cracks may be filled with wood glue and dust, not exceeding 5% of the total product.*** **┃Specifications┃** Length 58-60 cm, Width 28-35 cm, Thickness 1.5-1.8 cm (A margin of 0.5-1cm is normal due to handmade variations) https://shoplineimg.com/573adb12e37ec66b6400006f/external-e7a501daff0650d39dac977c2f245aaf/original?image_url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.shoplineapp.com%2Fmedia%2Fimage_clips%2F5f2aba4d8f07e70036e6a076%2Foriginal.jpg **┃Material┃** Olive wood **┃Origin of Wood┃** Italy / Tunisia **┃Cut and Hand-Finished┃** Taiwan / Tunisia https://img.shoplineapp.com/media/image_clips/5f5b4dc299ed9f003097c6fe/original.jpg https://img.shoplineapp.com/media/image_clips/5f5b4db142a1ab0039cc1602/original.jpg?1599819184 ┃Care and Usage Instructions┃ 1. All olive wood products from "Visiting the Forest" are made from natural raw wood. They are pre-soaked in maintenance oil before shipping, giving them a honey-wax color. It is normal for the color to lighten after the first few washes and wipes; applying oil will restore its natural hue. 2. During the first few cleanings, natural light yellowish-brown substances or maintenance oil may rinse or wipe off olive wood products. This is a natural phenomenon, so please use with confidence. 3. When cleaning, use warm or cold water with a soft cleaning tool. After washing, wipe off any remaining moisture and allow it to air dry in a well-ventilated area before storing. 4. If the product absorbs odors (e.g., from raw meat), you can wipe it with cold water and white vinegar, then rinse thoroughly. 5. For stubborn stains (e.g., from steak), use a baking soda paste to scrub the stained area with a cloth or brush. 6. Do not expose directly to sunlight or place in humid environments with rapid temperature changes. 7. Do not use in dishwashers, dish dryers, or ovens. 8. Regular maintenance: It is recommended to apply food-grade wood oil or natural beeswax to the product surface monthly to maintain its natural luster. ┃Notes┃ 1. Olive wood products are entirely handmade from solid wood. To ensure the suitability of each piece and highlight the most beautiful grain patterns, there may be slight variations in size. The presence of minor wood grain and hairline cracks is a natural testament to solid wood craftsmanship. Some product edges may feature treated bark or knots. 2. Regardless of the wood's quality, prolonged immersion in water or failure to dry can lead to mold. Prolonged sun exposure can cause wood to bleach. Therefore, we store our finished olive wood products indoors. Each product will have slight variations in size, weight, thickness, and grain pattern, as they are not mass-produced by machines. You will notice beautiful features like wood knots and natural pores. ┃Olive Wood FAQs┃ Q: Are your products made from a single piece of wood? A: "Visiting the Forest" strives to ensure all products are made from a single piece of wood. If a product is not made from a single piece due to design, we will clearly indicate it. Please pay attention to these details! Q: Do you have a recommended maintenance oil? A: Before shipping, "Visiting the Forest" applies a layer of wood kitchenware maintenance oil (NSF-3H certified food-grade mineral oil). *We highly recommend food-grade mineral oil and natural beeswax for maintenance. However, please remember NOT to use olive oil to maintain your olive wood products, as this can cause spoilage or rancid odors.* Q: Why does my olive wood product feel oily, and why are there oily marks on the packaging paper? A: Before shipping, our packaging staff at "Visiting the Forest" will re-apply maintenance oil to all olive wood products. Therefore, it is normal for your product to feel slightly oily. We take care to wrap all olive wood products securely to prevent the maintenance oil from transferring to the packaging paper. If there are minor transfers, there are no safety concerns. We appreciate your understanding. Q: Why does the color change completely after the first wash and drying compared to when I first received it? A: The color will naturally change! Each wash removes some of the maintenance oil, so the color will differ from the initial honey-wax tone. Restoring the color is simple: in addition to the recommended monthly maintenance, you can apply a thin layer of maintenance oil after drying the product to maintain its hue. Q: Can olive wood cutting boards be used for chopping large fish and meat? A: Absolutely! You can use them just like your previous cutting boards. Q: Does olive wood have a lifespan? A: A well-maintained piece of olive wood can last for decades. With no joins, there's no risk of disintegration, and without lacquer, there's no peeling. Even with significant knife marks, it can be restored with basic sanding. However, for food hygiene and safety, we strongly recommend using separate cutting boards for raw and cooked foods for a healthy and long-lasting solution.
