Use and care of your board
Are your products food safe?
Yes they are. Both wood and epoxy resin are food safe. Once fully cured, the epoxy resin is FDA-compliant.
Can I cut and chop on my board?
Both sides of the board are suitable for cutting and chopping. Normal knife marks may develop over time with regular use.
How do I clean my board?
It is very easy:
- Wash it with warm soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge,
- Dry immediately with a clean towel.
Hand wash only, no dishwasher
Are your boards heat resistant?
No, they are not. Wooden and epoxy boards should not me used in a microwave, oven or exposed to direct heat.
How do I keep my board looking like new?
By nourishing the wood. Once a month, apply a light coat of natural olive oil. If needed, apply more frequently.
Poor a small amount of natural olive oil on the wood, spread it evenly with a clean cloth and let it sit for 1 tp 3 minutes. Wipe the excess oil after.
Products and materials
What wood do you use?
All boards are handcrafted from Camphor Laurel timber. Camphor Laurel naturally contains antibacterial oils that help resist bacteria and mould, making it an excellent timber for kitchen boards.
What epoxy do you use?
At River Table, we use premium food-safe epoxy resin that is FDA-compliant for food contact after it has fully cured.
Are every board the same?
Every piece of timber has its own unique grain, colour, and character. Because each board is handcrafted, no two are ever exactly alike.
Are oysters and shells real?
The oyster and shells are real and are rescued from the Sydney Fish Market before they are sent to landfill.
Each shell is carefully cleaned, sanitised, polished, and transformed into artwork by hand.
