About
All Wild Wood boards are crafted from the heartwood of highest quality acacia wood. Acacia wood is one of the hardest woods available on the world market, and is harder than maple and oak. Acacia is not prone to scraping or scratches, making it ideal for regular use.
We believe Acacia wood is the best quality wood for our Wild Wood boards due to it being very durable and sustainable with natural antibacterial properties. We choose to use Acacia wood for our boards as the innate hardness of the wood is ideal for the kitchen and the home.
Acacia is also a beautiful looking wood, with the grain colours contrasting between soft honeyed hues and deep, dark chocolates. The full grain is warm, and the natural contrast which occurs in each Wild Wood piece gives them a high-end look which sets them apart from other traditional wood products.
When sourcing Acacia wood for use in making our Wild Wood boards, we search for the best quality! Wild Wood uses the heart of the Acacia wood that is harvested as this preserves the grain and presentation. All of our Wild Wood items are designed here in Australia by Janie & Jonathan.
Acacia is an environmentally friendly hardwood that grows on all continents, but is prevalent in SE Asia, Africa & Australia. This pod-bearing tree is known for its rich, dark colours which range from honey gold to chocolate brown. In biblical times, Acacia wood was used for bows and boats because of its impermeable strength. Acacia wood is a non-endangered species, and the wood used in our Wild Wood products is not harvested from rain forest; it is all farmed from plantations. All Wild Wood products are hand finished with love and care.

After use, Hand Wash in warm soapy water, then it is best to dry your board in a dish rack or pat it dry. Do not leave your board to dry in the sun as the intense heat caused by the sun could warp your board. Do not soak your board in water, and you should never place it in the dishwasher.
Depending on how often you use your board, we would recommend oiling it regularly, about every second month. The best guide is when your board is looking pale, or dry, then it needs conditioning (oiling). Using a paper towel, apply a coat of vegetable oil to the board. Wipe off the excess oil and let the rest soak into your board over approx. 15-20 minutes. Then your board should be looking like new.
Wooden boards are the best boards to use for any cutting, chopping or carving of food in your home. Wooden boards are kind to your knives, last a long time, and look great. They are easy to clean and maintain, and look better as they age. Wood is an eco-friendly material and this is an important thing to consider when purchasing a new board. Importantly wooden boards contain natural anti-bacterial properties ensuring they are safer than any other material.
