Products

Olive Wood

The true beauty of wood such as olive wood comes from its highly varied grain patterns—something we obviously can’t control. Artisans also hand-carve every item, so for example, each live edge olive wood cutting board will naturally differ in cut, shape, grain, and size (+/- 1-2” on any given side). Standard items such as utensils or coasters will be more uniform, consistent in size and shape.

Additionally, the larger the size, the larger the variance in terms of the size and more likely it is to crack and warp. We process each item with all necessary care during drying and post production. However, this does not completely prevent the natural and completely normal movement of wood. Small hairline cracks or splitting are common and signs of healthy and aging wood.

Hardwood Boards

Please note that our maple, cherry, and walnut boards are made from glued pieces of wood, unlike our single-piece olive wood boards. The sizes are exact as stated on the website. Due to the natural grain of the wood and the gluing process, some variations and interruptions in the grain pattern are to be expected.

If you have ordered engraving on any of our products, be aware that the engraving may appear slightly darker or lighter than the images shown on our website.

If you’re interested in a custom design order or bulk order (company logo, etc.), kindly send us the specs to review. We will reply with the cost and delivery time.

If you would like to just slightly modify one of designs (not use a date or add an extra line, etc), you may leave the instructions in the personalization team or notes at checkout.

We recommend customers taking advantage of our proof add-on (may be found in our shop) in case they would like to see their design before it is engraved and shipped.

The same rules apply in caring for our wood products as do for all wood items.

  • Always handwash wood items after use. Do not leave in sink or water for extended periods of time.
  • Do not put items in the dishwasher, microwave oven, regular oven, or freezer. Our wooden cooking utensils are only intended for stovetop use.
  • Periodically treat wooden items by rubbing them with food-grade mineral oil to help preserve their beauty and durability.

We use only a mixture of food-safe mineral oil onto all our olive wood products.

Additionally, all of our products – are sustainably created out of a single piece of olive wood. That means we never use glue, chemicals, or any finishes, and the grain is consistent in every piece. We take great pride in creating top quality products for our customers.

Ordering Process

For those seeking complete confidence in their custom orders, we offer a Proof Add-On during the ordering process. This option allows customers to request a personalized mock-up of their design before finalizing the engraving process. Here’s what you need to know:

How It Works:

Once an order is submitted with the Proof Add-On selected, we’ll create a design proof within 24 hours featuring your text. This proof will be sent for your review via email. As soon as the proof is confirmed, we proceed to complete and ship your order as soon as possible.

Please note that this extra step may add 1-4 business days to the order processing time, depending on how quickly you confirm the proof or whether any revisions are required.

Rush Order Consideration:

Opting for a rush order, while available, may slightly delay the process due to the proofing phase. However, rest assured, we strive to expedite proofs for rush orders as efficiently as possible.

Why Choose the Proof Add-On:

Not sure how your text will harmonize with our fonts and designs? The Proof Add-On is ideal for anyone seeking reassurance and clarity before the engraving begins.

Making Revisions:

Should you wish to make adjustments or if the initial proof doesn’t meet your expectations, simply reply to the email containing the proof. We’re happy to make reasonable revisions to ensure your satisfaction.

Missed the Proof Add-On during Ordering?

If the Proof Add-On wasn’t selected during the initial order, rest assured, there still might be time to request it here unless your order has already gone into production. If your order has gone into production by the time you order the proof separately, we would refund you the cost of the proof.

Yes! We offer a Proof Add-On during the ordering process. This option allows you to request a personalized proof of your design with your text. The proof will be sent for your review and confirmation before we proceed with engraving. If you’re uncertain about how your text will look with specific fonts and designs, this service is perfect for ensuring satisfaction before finalizing your order.

Whether you have a logo ready or need design assistance, we work with you to create the perfect item. To engrave your logo onto our cutting boards, start the process here. For engraving your logo on other items, chat with us.
