Care

It's fragile! Especially the edges.

Avoid direct sunlight, low humidity, heat, harsh chemicals and long exposure to water. Gently dust or clean with dry cloth. If necessary, damp cloth or for stubborn dirt, a little mineral spirits. Dry immediately and add a thin coat of Odie's oil (or mineral oil) and buff lightly. Even if it's not used, a light dusting and a thin coat of oil or paste wax from time to time will keep the wood in good condition.

Not safe for ovens, microwaves, diswashers or clumsy people.
