My cutting boards are usually made to order, but I have some variations are usually in stock. Production time for out-of-stock items is ten days, and lead times for custom designs are two weeks after the final design is accepted. 

Caring for Your Jürgen Made Cutting Board

Whether you purchased a custom cutting board from Jürgen Made or elsewhere, proper care is essential to keep it looking beautiful and long-lasting. Here’s a quick guide to help you maintain your handcrafted wooden cutting board.

At Jürgen Made, we use the highest-quality, kiln-dried wood to ensure durability and longevity. The low moisture content of the wood makes our boards naturally antibacterial, making them more resistant to bacteria growth than plastic alternatives.

Cleaning Your Cutting Board

• Clean your cutting board using warm, mildly soapy water and a damp cloth. Avoid soaking it or using water if the board doesn’t have a protective finish, as this could raise the grain of the wood.
• Be cautious with commercial cleaning products—steer clear of silicone-based cleaners, as they can degrade the finish over time.

Protecting the Finish

• While our cutting boards are finished to resist scratches and moisture, they’re not waterproof. Always wipe up any spills or water immediately to prevent staining or damage.
• Never place hot items directly on the board; always use a trivet or pad to protect the wood.

Maintaining the Finish

• If your cutting board begins to look dull or discolored, you can refresh the finish. Be sure to use the same type of finish the maker applies to ensure proper adhesion. Contact us for advice on the best products for your Jürgen Made board.

General Tips

• Avoid abrasive cleaning tools like Brillo pads, which can scratch the board's surface.
• With regular care, your Jürgen Made cutting board will serve you beautifully for years.
