Scott Mitchen founded Timeless Timber on an inspired idea: With forests around the world seriously threatened, and the desire for high-quality wood so strong, why not harvest the old-growth timber that lies unscathed at the bottom of freshwater lakes and rivers? Today his company retrieves beautiful, aged wood that sank while being rafted to lumber mills during the 1800s--timber that was already 250 to 500 years old at the time it was cut.
Timeless Timber’s hardwoods include maple, birch, elm, oak, and even some species that are now extinct. Their history and rare beauty are sought after for custom-made musical instruments, flooring, and furniture. This cheese board is a handcrafted example of how warm and lovely old-growth wood can be: each end-grain tile is carefully cut and placed to maximize the interest of the wood’s grain and color. Truly, this is a gift you can feel good about.

- By following these easy instructions, your Timeless Timber wood product will beautifully serve you and your family for years to come. Keep in mind that wood is porous and easily absorbs any liquids with which it comes in contact; if not properly cared for, wood products can lose their beauty and functionality.
• KEEP IT OILED. Oiling your board regularly will keep it beautiful and extend its life. Splits, cracks, and warping of the wood boards are most often due to improper oiling.
• Try to oil all surfaces of your board evenly with food-safe oil (mineral oil is recommended) every few weeks, or more often depending on the frequency of use. Pour the oil onto a soft cloth and rub it into the clean, dry wood. This will keep the wood equal in moisture content.
• DO NOT soak your board in water or let water or any wet items (fresh meat, etc.) stand on your board. This will shorten the useful life of your board. Water and wood don’t mix. Brine, water, and blood will soak into the wood, causing the block to expand and the wood fiber to soften. Long or repeated exposure to liquids can even cause splitting and warping of the wood product over time.
• WE DO NOT RECOMMEND exposing the Timeless Timber products to uncooked fish, fowl, or other meats. ALWAYS CLEAN THE BOARD THOROUGHLY AFTER EXPOSURE TO FISH, MEATS, CITRUS, OR BRINED FOODS.
• ALWAYS clean your wooden cutting board or tray after use. Wipe with a damp cloth; for a more thorough cleansing, wash the product gently with a soft rag, warm water, and a mild, liquid dish soap; rinse thoroughly and air dry completely before storage.
• NEVER wash your block with harsh detergents of any type.
• DO NOT put your board in the dishwasher.
- With a little tender loving care, your board or tray will provide many years of service and beauty. Natural wood products have a warm beauty that compliments any decor. Variations in color and grain patterns make each Timeless Timber block of wood unique.
