Frequently asked questions

Do you still make chopping boards for sale?

The focus of the business is now in woodcare treatment products. We have still retained a small workshop and when time allows we still make the occasional chopping board and other woodwork project. Any products for sale will be listed in the shop section of this website.

How much mineral oil do I need? Does the oil go off?

We have sizes ranging from 60ml up to 20 litres. For new chopping boards that require their first treatment we recommend a minimum of 100ml. For larger boards or treating several boards 250ml - 500ml. For woodworkers working on lots of projects we have several sizes of 1 litre and above.

Mineral oil will last for several years in a sealed container. As long as the oil remains clear and not cloudy it is ok to use.

How do you ship my order and when will it arrive?

Details of our despatch and shipping policies can be found under the shipping link at the top of this page.

Can I collect my order?

We are an online only sales business so we are unable to offer a collection option. We do offer free 2nd class shipping on all orders which is currently the most environmentally friendly shipping service available.

Will your oils and polishes change the appearance of my wood?

In nearly every circumstance any wood treatment will slightly darken or change the tone of the wood. It is always good practice to test your chosen wood treatment product in an inconspicuous area first.
