Your spikes will be supplied in a small bag with your board. 

They simply screw in hand tight, no tools needed. They are all stainless steel so will not
rust, as are the fixings they screw in to. When not in use keep the spikes
in a safe place, preferably in a small box or bag.

Do

  • Take care with fingers, the spikes are very sharp and pointy
  • Clean the board with a wrung out damp cloth, drying after with a towel. A normal kitchen anti-bacterial spray can be used.
  • Dry before putting the board away
  • Apply periodically, a light coating of one of our range of conditioners to
    restore the lustre and condition.

Don’t

  • Immerse in water, or place in a dishwasher as this will significantly
    reduce the life of the board. The appearance of the wood may naturally
    darken over time.
  • Leave to dry or place near a radiator, this will dry out the wood and can
    cause warping.
  • Place on top of cookers or stoves, this is a potential fire hazard and can
    also warp the board
