- DSDaren SumrowAug 4, 20255.0This is THE BEST gift store in New Orleans by far!! I was able to get everyone in my family really nice presents for Christmas last year, so I decided to by all of my corporate gifts from them too because they do custom engraving of my company logo. Thanks again Nola Boards!!
Frequently Asked Questions About NOLA Boards
Can I cut directly on the surface of my countertop?
Yes, though only if you select our natural finish option. Polyurethane is NOT food safe and it can be dangerous to ingest. Our natural finish of mineral oil and beeswax is food-safe and is how we finish all of the cutting boards we make as well. Bear in mind that cutting on your countertop will cause it the same kind of wear as your cutting board endures, and will require you to periodically oil and wax the surface to maintain the wood's natural luster and color. We also suggest occasionally sanding the surface smooth, as needed. We offer refinishing services for a fee, depending on your location.
How do I clean a wood countertop?
For everyday cleaning, you can use the same products that you would use on any other wooden surface. Just like your kitchen or dining room table, it is totally fine to clean your wood countertop with disinfectant sprays, soap and water, or even just a wet rag. Be sure to dry off standing water or puddles on the surface of the countertop as anything made of wood (even your household tables) may warp or split if left wet.
What kind of maintenance do wood countertops require?
For countertops with our natural finish, you will want to re-oil and wax the countertop when it begins to look dull. This will happen more quickly with countertops that are also used as cutting boards. Reapplying the natural finish is as quick and easy as thoroughly scrubbing down and cleaning your dining room table. All it takes is applying a thin layer of mineral oil to the surface followed by a generous coat of a mix of beeswax and mineral oil which is then buffed to a sheen. These products can be purchased at our retail store: MINERAL OIL and LOUISIANA BEESWAX BOARD CONDITIONER .
For a polyurethane finish, there is no regular maintenance required.
Can I put my wooden cutting board in the dishwasher?
Absolutely NO dishwasher use!
How do I clean my cutting board after each use?
Simply wash your board with your regular dish soap at your sink and with a scrubber brush. Dry with a cloth.
How do I maintain my cutting board for long-term care?
Before you start, be sure your boards are very clean. Give them a scrub with lemon and salt. The boards should also be dry before starting.
What You Need:
• Wooden cutting board, spoons, or other utensils
• Clean, soft cloth or paper towel
• Mineral oil or other food-grade oil
• NOLA Boards board conditioner - MINERAL OIL and BEESWAX BOARD CONDITIONER
Instructions:
• Start with a clean board and utensils. Be sure your cutting board and spoons are as clean as possible and thoroughly dry.
• Apply the oil. Using a clean, soft cloth or paper towel, apply the oil in an even layer over the wood.
• Let it soak in. Remove any excess. Leave the oil to soak in, overnight if possible, or for at least a few hours.
• Apply NOLA Boards board conditioner - MINERAL OIL and BEESWAX BOARD CONDITIONER in a circular motion. Remove excess.
• If the board or your spoons feel oily or sticky, buff off any remaining oil with a clean dry cloth or paper towel.
Can I custom engrave my cutting?
Yes, we can custom engrave wording, logos, drawings, and recipes (even in your grandma's handwriting).
Do you offer corporate gifts?
Yes, we offer corporate gifts and custom-branded company logos.
