THE CARVER:

The Old Oryx Carver is a butcher’s block designed and built with South Africa’s favourite ritual in mind. It’s a working surface first and a statement piece second, designed to honour the craft that happens around the fire and kitchen.

Solid under hand yet deliberately manageable in weight, the Carver strikes a balance between strength and usability. A generous juice groove keeps things tidy, while discreet rubber feet anchor the board firmly in place. Crafted from natural Ash and finished with a contrasting strip of Thermo Ash, a beautiful slab to celebrate and present your fine work with.

Your Old Oryx Carver comes sanded down to an ultra fine finish, and has been pre-treated with food safe mineral oil.

Washing:
Wash with warm mildly soapy water without submerging, rinse with warm water without submerging the board. Dry with cloth and pack vertically to dry on a rack, ensuring the board is not sitting in water pools. Dishwashing will destroy your board in no time!

General Maintenance & Hydration:
After first wash and dry, after 5th wash and dry. Then periodically or when your board starts looking dull or dry.
Firstly ensure that the board is clean and dry.  Using our food safe mineral oil or beeswax butter, apply a coat to the entirety of the board. Allow to soak for at least 5 minutes (The longer the better). Remove any excess oil with a dry cloth or paper towel, wiping off in the direction of the grain.
