Cutting Board Assembly Ingredients
All my cutting boards are assembled with Titebond III glue which, as stated by the manufacturer, is waterproof and “FDA approved for indirect food contact (cutting boards)”.
You can find more information on the company’s website:
Once assembled, I soak the cutting boards in Walrus Oil and Walrus Wood Wax.

Cutting Board Care
The Bird Leaf’s cutting boards are made of natural materials, and variations in color and texture are to be expected. Wood is a living material, and some cracking or settling could occur over time. Proper use and care are essential to maintaining the beauty and safety of your cutting board.
Use
- Board is not suitable for stovetop, oven or microwave use.
- Do not use as a serving surface for hot food.
- Your board has been seasoned with a food-grade mineral oil and after cleaning with hot soapy water or the provided cutting board cleaner, your board is ready to use!
Care
- Hand wash with hot, soapy water or with provided cleaning solution. Dry thoroughly.
- Do not soak or submerge board in water. Do not put in dishwasher.
- To sanitize after cutting foods with a risk of bacteria (e.g., meat, poultry and fish), wash the board with a solution of one part vinegar to five parts water.
- Remove odors by rubbing the board with kosher or table salt and half a lemon. Let sit for 2 to 3 minutes then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Remove excess moisture with a clean paper towel and stand the board on end to air dry.
- Store in a dry area away from extreme temperatures.
- Occasionally rub with a food-safe mineral oil and/or cutting board wax (small portion provided) to keep wood from drying out.
