            Before we dive into the weeds of dos and don'ts of your new board, let me basically tell you how a Charcuterie board is made.
           
                      &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
        
                        
            These boards are a slice of face grain lumber taken from a log on a sawmill.
           
                      &#xD;
      &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
        
                        
            Once the board is sliced it then goes to a drying shed called the kiln to be dried.
           
                      &#xD;
      &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
        
                        
            Our next step at Knots &amp;amp; Steel is to run it through the planer, this will take the saw marks off before the next step of sanding to a smooth touch.
           
                      &#xD;
      &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
        
                        
            Live edge wood gets a lot more attention than the regular straight edge boards by carefully shaping and removing some or all of the bark.
           
                      &#xD;
      &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
        
                        
            The last step is to treat it with some food grade board butter, made from mineral oil and bees wax.
           
                      &#xD;
      &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
        
                        
            A good buffing to enhance the grain of the wood, then it's now ready for a new home.
            
                        &#xD;
        &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
          
                          
              
            
                        &#xD;
        &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
          &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
          
                          
             Step 1 - Never put a Charcuterie board in the dishwasher or the microwave oven.
            
                        &#xD;
        &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
          &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
          
                          
             Step 2 - You may wash it by hand, with warm water and a squirt of mild dish soap.
            
                        &#xD;
        &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
          
                          
                            Do not leave it soaking in the sink full of water.
            
                        &#xD;
        &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
          
                          
                            Simply rinse it off and dry it with paper towels.
            
                        &#xD;
        &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
          &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
          
                          
             Step 3 -Do not use any wax, abrasives  or furniture polish. 
            
                        &#xD;
        &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
          &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
          
                          
             Step 4 -Apply a

        &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
          
                          
             fresh
            
                        &#xD;
        &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
          
                          
              coat of Knots &amp;amp; Steel board butter when the board starts to look dull, normally every                    four months.
            
                        &#xD;
        &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
          &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
