For longevity and durability, a new cutting board should be treated with food-grade oil before use. Start by wiping your cutting board with a clean, dry cloth. Then apply a good amount of a food-grade oil (such as cold pressed linseed oil or cooking oil). Repeat the treatment until the surface feels saturated and no longer absorbs oil (about 3-5 times). This treatment should then be made occasionally during the cutting board's entire lifetime to prevent cracking. When the surface starts to feel worn-out after a few years of use, take a fine sandpaper and sand the surface lightly then oil it again.

Established by a small collective of visually impaired craftsmen in 1870, Iris Hantverk began as a way for an otherwise marginalized community to gain economic independence. True to its roots, Iris Hantverk still employs visually impaired artisans in both Sweden and Estonia, while also preserving time-honored Swedish brush making techniques. Each item is exclusively crafted using natural and ethically sourced materials.
