• Natural Antibacterial Properties
  Camphor wood inherently helps deter bacterial growth and unpleasant odors.
  
  
• Unique Grain and Aroma
  It boasts a distinctive mix of light and dark wood tones with a subtle, refreshing scent.
  
  
• Durability and Strength
  Properly maintained camphor boards resist warping and splitting, ensuring long-lasting use.
  

• Rinse with Lukewarm Water
  - Right after use, rinse the board with mild dish soap and lukewarm water before food residue dries.
  - Avoid using harsh or metallic scrubbers that can damage the surface. A soft sponge is ideal.
  
  
• Dry Thoroughly
  - After rinsing, wipe off any excess moisture with a clean towel or paper towel.
  - Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can lead to cracking, so allow the board to dry in a well-ventilated, cool area.
  
  
• Disinfection & Odor Control
  - About once a week, apply a little vinegar or lemon juice, let it sit for about 5 minutes, then rinse to reduce bacteria and odors.
  - For deeper cleaning, gently scrub the surface with coarse salt, then rinse with lukewarm water

• Choose the Right Oil
  Select a food-grade mineral oil, walnut oil, or a dedicated cutting board oil.
  
  
• When to Oil
  If the surface starts looking dull or feels dry, or at least once a month, apply oil to maintain its condition.
  
  
• How to Oil
  1. Make sure the board is clean and fully dry.
  2. Drizzle a small amount of oil onto the surface.
  3. Use a clean cloth or paper towel to rub the oil in, following the grain of the wood.
  4. Allow the oil to sit for 10–15 minutes, then gently wipe off any excess oil and let it air-dry.
  

• Choose the Right Spot
  Store your cutting board in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight, stoves, or any heat source.

• When to Store Properly
  After each use and once the board is fully dry, store it properly to prevent warping or mold growth.

• How to Store

1. Ensure the board is completely clean and dry.
2. Store it standing upright or on its side to allow airflow.
3. Avoid stacking heavy items on top of it.
4. Use a board stand, if available, to keep it elevated and ventilated

• Are Knife Marks Normal?
  Yes, a few knife marks are inevitable with regular use of a wooden board. Minimize deep gouges by keeping knives sharp and reapplying oil to protect the surface.
  
  
• Can I Store It in the Refrigerator
  Prolonged refrigerator storage is not recommended. Sudden temperature changes can cause cracks or warping.
  
  
• What If Mold Appears?
  Light mold can sometimes be sanded away with fine-grit sandpaper. Then disinfect the board with vinegar, let it dry in gentle sunlight, and finish with an oil treatment. If mold is extensive, replacement may be necessary.
  

The main differences are the source of the timber, product construction, available designs, weight and price.

Everyday uses selected imported Camphor Laurel timber and focuses on lighter, practical boards at a more accessible price. Signature uses Australian-sourced Camphor Laurel and places greater emphasis on local craftsmanship, substantial construction and the individual character of Australian timber.

No. Everyday is a purpose-built collection made to a different product specification.

It uses streamlined designs, efficient timber sourcing and lighter construction to provide better everyday value. It is not a factory-second or clearance collection.

Every Everyday board receives Orana’s final finishing and quality inspection before dispatch.

Everyday has been developed around a focused range of practical sizes, lighter construction and efficient timber sourcing.

This allows us to offer a genuine solid Camphor Laurel board at a more accessible price without positioning it as a replica of our Signature Collection.

Everyday boards are made using selected imported Camphor Laurel timber and are completed through Orana’s local finishing and quality-control process in Sydney.

Signature boards are crafted in Sydney using Australian-sourced Camphor Laurel timber.

We provide this distinction so that customers can choose the collection that best reflects their priorities.

Yes. Both collections are made from genuine solid Camphor Laurel timber.

As a natural material, every board will have its own grain pattern, colour variation and markings. No two boards will look exactly the same.
