Wooden cutting boards take a lot of abuse over time — knife marks, stains, warping, and rough surfaces. With proper reconditioning, most boards can be restored to near-new condition, extending their life for years.
What Reconditioning Includes
- Sanding — multiple grits to remove knife marks, stains, and surface damage
- Flattening — warped or cupped boards are brought back level where possible
- Food-safe finish — conditioned with a premium food-safe oil and/or wax blend
- Inspection — boards with structural damage (deep cracks, split joints) will be assessed and discussed before work begins
What Boards Can Be Reconditioned?
Most solid hardwood boards — edge grain, end grain, or flat grain — can be reconditioned. Boards with plastic, bamboo, composite materials, or those that have been glued and are separating at the joints may not be good candidates. When in doubt, send a photo and I’ll let you know.
Pricing
Reconditioning pricing is based on board size and the amount of work needed. As a general guide:
- Small boards (under 12″) — starting from $25
- Medium boards (12″–18″) — starting from $40
- Large boards (18″+) — starting from $55
- Heavy restoration (significant damage, deep gouges, warping) — quoted individually
Note: These are starting prices. A firm quote will be provided after I review photos of your board.
Turnaround Time
Most reconditioning jobs are completed within 3–7 business days of receiving the board. Rush turnaround may be available — just mention it in your message.
Drop-Off or Shipping
Local drop-off is available and preferred. If you’re not local, you can ship your board to me — contact me first for the shipping address and packaging tips to avoid damage in transit. Return shipping cost is covered by the customer.
