About Cutting Board Care Guide

Care guides for wooden cutting boards and kitchen tools: cleaning, oiling, drying and storage, plus how your board affects your knives.

Who publishes this

Cutting Board Care Guide is published by Bevel & Bond LLC, a small American company whose end-grain hard maple cutting boards are made in Oregon. We started this site because we kept answering the same questions by email and wanted somewhere to put the answers properly.

Our relationship to the products we mention

We sell cutting boards, and we sometimes link to our own. That is a commercial interest and you should read our recommendations knowing it.

What we try to do in return is be straight about tradeoffs, including where a cheaper board, a different wood, or a different construction is the better buy for you. Where our own products come up, we say plainly when they are the wrong choice, because a guide that never does that is an advert.

How we write these guides

Specifications come from published sources, Janka hardness figures, manufacturer documentation, food-safety research. Where we state something from our own workshop experience, we say so. We do not invent test results, review scores, or credentials.
