    Returns: eligibility and costs

    Request a change-of-mind return within 30 days of delivery. Items must be unopened and sealed with their protective film intact, unused and in their original condition.

    You pay return postage, plus a processing and original-delivery deduction for an authorized change-of-mind return. Warranty replacement delivery is assessed separately under the terms applicable to your purchase and applicable law; see the Replacement Policy for any applicable fees.

    Wood moves naturally with moisture. Use, care and storage conditions are assessed individually; damage alone does not establish misuse. This does not exclude manufacturing defects or limit applicable legal warranties. Contact us about damaged, defective or incorrect items or other product concerns. When damage falls outside warranty coverage, we may offer a one-time goodwill replacement following an individual assessment. This does not create entitlement to further goodwill replacements or limit applicable warranty rights. A goodwill replacement is offered only where no remedy is required by applicable law or warranty.

    Choose your butcher block

    The two end-grain blocks share the same size. The edge-grain maple block gives you more working room at a slightly lower height.

    Will it fit your kitchen?

    • Leave room around the block to work comfortably.
    • Check that you can safely lift and turn a block weighing about 5–6 kg.
    • Choose a stable place to store it where air can reach both faces after cleaning.

    For your butcher block

    Add support under your block and keep wood-care products close at hand.

    Care and use

    • Before first use, brush or wipe away packaging dust without water. Oil all clean, completely dry faces and edges.
    • For dry crumbs on a board that has not been contaminated, use a dry brush or cloth. Use a barely damp cloth for light wiping when needed.
    • For a small surface stain or odour on an intact, unvarnished block, rub gently with half a lemon and coarse salt. Remove the salt and juice promptly, then dry. This does not disinfect or treat mould, cracks or open joints.
    • Dry right after cleaning and let air reach both faces. Never soak the wood or put it in the dishwasher.
    • Oil clean, completely dry wood when it looks dry or dull. Let the oil absorb overnight and wipe off the excess. Add cream afterwards if you want a wax finish.
    When washing is necessary

    Food residue, grease, raw flour or dough needs effective cleaning. After contamination, clean and sanitize with a product suitable for wooden food-contact surfaces, following its directions. Wash both faces and all edges briefly with mild dish soap and lukewarm water, then rinse; never soak or saturate the wood. Towel-dry every side right away and let both faces air-dry, away from direct heat. Store only when completely dry. Keep a separate board for raw meat, poultry, fish and seafood. Lemon, salt, oil and cream do not sanitize wood; oil and cream do not waterproof it.

    About this product

    Frequently asked questions

    How is this block put together?

    Solid-wood pieces are joined with wood glue. The long edges of the maple pieces form the cutting surface and its lengthwise grain. The wood still expands and contracts with changes in moisture.

    How do I lift the block?

    Hold the recessed side grips with both hands. Lift and turn it only if you can manage its weight safely, and set it on a stable surface before cutting.

    Can I use both faces?

    Yes. Both faces can be used for preparing food or serving.
