Let’s be honest: as beautiful as they are, wooden cutting boards scare off a lot of people. We hear all kinds of things:
👉 “Too much upkeep.”
👉 “You have to oil them every week!”
👉 “They’re not as safe as plastic…”
And the classic: 👉 “I don’t have time for that.”
The result? Kitchen drawers fill up with old plastic boards — cracked, stained, often impossible to clean properly… and releasing harmful microplastics into your food. But we keep them anyway because “it’s easier.”
But what if you could have a truly beautiful wooden board… without all the maintenance?
That’s exactly what we asked ourselves at Humble Artisan. We wanted you to have a stunning, sturdy, and pleasant-to-use board — without it becoming a chore.
🪵 So what’s the deal with traditional wood board care?
When you buy an untreated wooden cutting board, here’s what it usually involves if you want it to last:
Oiling with mineral oil every week at first, then every month
Occasional waxing to seal the wood
Hand washing with extra care to avoid cracks
Risk of stains or warping if it stays damp
Lots of love… or it ends up in the trash
In short, it’s a whole project.
And with a Humble Artisan board?
Zero hassle.
Our boards come pre-treated with a high-end oil-and-wax finish: Osmo TopOil. This professional-grade product — often used on kitchen counters and cutting boards — forms a water-resistant, stain-resistant, and wear-resistant barrier. It’s 100% food-safe and protects your board for several months!
What it means for you:
✅ It’s ready to use from Day 1
✅ You only need to reapply the finish every 3 to 6 months (depending on usage)
✅ You get two finish sachets with your board — everything is ready
✅ 5 minutes, start to finish: apply, let dry, and you’re good for another 3-6 months
And this isn’t some throwaway board — it’s a handcrafted piece made right here in Québec from local hardwoods, designed to last for years.
To sum it up:
✔️ A handcrafted, artisan board
✔️ A pro finish that saves you hours of upkeep
✔️ 5 minutes every 6 months, and that’s it
✔️ A kitchen that finally looks amazing
✔️ And no reason to keep that cracked old plastic board
In the end, a wooden board shouldn’t be a burden.With Humble Artisan, you get all the charm and durability of wood — without the headaches… Not the other way around. So, ready to say goodbye to plastic and hello to simplicity?
