Precautions and Use 

• This cutting board is made of one solid piece of hinoki, which is great because composite wood boards (made of 2 or more wood pieces) are much more likely warp with use. However, care should be taken when using this product. Please keep in mind this is a highly absorbent wood and it can warp or crack if exposed to excessive heat or rapid temperature changes. 
• Try to briefly wet the board with water before any use and or cleaning with soap or bleach. 
• Try to avoid excessive use of soap or bleach. This may damage the natural oils in the wood.
• Avoid putting the board away wet. Hand drying with a towel generally works well. 
• Avoid storing the board in damp, humid or excessively hot areas. And avoid direct sunlight.
• Please note: Untreated raw wood may warp over time. Likewise, there is the possibility of small cracks to occur in the wood. We do not accept returns for warped or cracked wood.
• Please note: The photos shown are from a single cutting board. The actual product you receive may look slightly different.
