The Materials We Use
At Casa Designs, materials drive the work. From the hardwoods we source to the finishes we apply, every decision is made with longevity, safety, and performance in mind. We select premium hardwoods for their durability and beauty, ensuring that each piece not only looks stunning but also stands the test of time. Our food-safe oils and finishes are carefully chosen to enhance the natural beauty of the wood while providing a protective barrier against moisture and wear. With proper care and maintenance, our products will continue to shine in your kitchen for years to come.
We work with carefully selected, premium hardwoods chosen for their strength, character, and long-term performance. Each species brings its own grain pattern, hardness, and personality - and we select materiables based on how they will live and age in a space. We work primarily with Dark Walut, Maple, Cherry, and occasionally Purpleheart and Padauk.
We use food-safe, non-toxic oils to finish pieces that come into contact with food or skin. These finishes enhance the natural beauty of the wood while providing a protective barrier against moisture and wear, ensuring that your cutting boards and charcuterie pieces remain safe and stunning for years to come.
No Harmful Solvents or Chemicals
Enhanced Grain Patterns
Long-Lasting Protection
Use:
To keep your board in optimal condition, apply food safe mineral oil twice a month. Allow the oil to be absorbed for at least 6 hours or preferably overnight. After the oil has been absorbed, wipe off any excess using a clean dry cloth. Avoid contact with other oils such as olive or canola oil.
Care:
Hand wash with soapy warm water, Dry thoroughly. DO NOT soak in water, or put into dishwasher. Periodically rub with food safe mineral oil to keep the wood from drying out and allow to dry completely before storing.
