Wood Care

To keep your pieces looking their best, caring for wood is part of the craft. At Yellow Dog Wood Craft, we believe wood deserves respect — soft maintenance, gentle cleaning, and regular TLC. Whether it’s a handcrafted carving or a rustic cutting board, with a few simple steps your wood keeps its warmth and character for years to come.

Use a soft cloth for dusting, avoid harsh chemicals, treat surfaces occasionally with food-safe oils when needed, and keep your wood out of direct sun or extreme humidity. Our goal is that every piece you bring home continues telling its story, aging beautifully with you.

Wood Care Tips

• Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth.

• Avoid harsh cleaners — stick to mild soap and water if needed.

• Condition with oil: Use food-safe mineral oil or board butter occasionally to restore shine and protect.

• Keep out of direct sunlight to prevent fading and cracking.

• Avoid extreme humidity or heat — don’t place near vents, stoves, or dishwashers.

• Wipe spills quickly to protect the grain and finish.
