I received this as a gift, took it out of the bag and displayed it at home for a few weeks. After that, I put it back in the bag and stored it at home. 【Skandinavisk Hemslöjd】 Founded in 1995, this manufacturer of handicrafts carries on tradition and skill. These handmade wooden products are carefully finished one by one by Scandinavian woodworkers, taking time and care. They use natural wood that is hard, high-quality, and fragrant, grown through the harsh Scandinavian winters, such as alder and juniper. A set of cute natural wood butter knives and cutting boards with laser-cut Scandinavian animals. The board is the perfect size for cutting cheese and fruit, as well as butter. You can also use it as a serving plate, so you can take what you've cut straight to the table. It will be a great help at home parties if you put bread, sweets, or hors d'oeuvres on it. The butter knife is designed with gentle curves to fit comfortably in your hand. 【Care Instructions】 Because it is natural wood and tends to dry out, if you feel it is rough or the wood is hard, wipe it with a small amount of linseed oil or vegetable oil on a clean cloth once or twice a year. After applying the oil, be sure to let it dry thoroughly for at least one day before using it. 【Precautions for Use】 * Please be aware that oil may seep out at first, as the manufacturing process involves soaking the wood in plenty of oil to allow the oil to penetrate the wood. * Soaking in water for a long time may cause cracking. * Leaving it wet may cause mold. Dry thoroughly after washing. * Because it is a natural material, the grain and color will vary from piece to piece.
