Absolutely! Our cutting boards are not stained so they require the re-application of food-safe mineral oil to maintain their natural beauty. Rubbing your board with food grade mineral oil (from Tin Roof or any other trusted brand) will prevent absorption of food odors, fill surface cracks that may otherwise harbor bacteria and ease cleaning. Keeping your board conditioned will also help to soften the appearance of nicks and cuts that are made during regular use of the board. Never use any vegetable or cooking oils to finish the wood surface because they can turn rancid. Regular oiling is recommended every 3-4 weeks depending on the frequency of use. You will know when it is time to re-oil because the color of the wood will get lighter and appear dryer. Don’t worry about applying too much oil- more is better. Tin Roof Food Grade Mineral Oil meets requirements of US FDA regulations for direct and indirect food contact.

End-grain butcher blocks are made by fusing together the end pieces of wood beams into a pattern of end-grain blocks. End-grain designs resist knife marks and help keep the blades stronger. Instead of crushing against the wood fibers, the blade goes between the fibers like cutting into a firm paint brush. The end-grain design makes for the strongest and most durable cutting boards, which is why they are preferred by professional chefs. These boards require an immense amount of intricate design and attention to detail. Because of this, a Tin Roof end-grain cutting board is often referred to as a functional piece of art. Tin Roof end-grain designs consist of Forest Home, Spring Orchard, Wildwood Gourmet and Garden Chef.
The majority of wooden cutting boards you find today are of a flat grain design. These board designs are made up of full-length wooden beams that span the length of the cutting board. They are easier to manufacture and are therefore less expensive. Tin Roof flat grain style cutting boards are made with hand selected quality hardwoods so you know they are the best quality for the best price. Tin Roof flat grain designs consist of Canopy Grove and The Medley.

These handmade cutting boards started as a hobby and a special Christmas gift from board creator Kurt Pratka. With his resources, Kurt personally chose the wood, aligned it to create a beautiful design, sealed the board and sanded it to perfection. Thanks to our small dedicated staff managed by Kurt, the hand-made tradition continues.
