Intellectual Property Rights
All content, logos, images, and product designs featured on this website are the intellectual property of Wood Instaurator, unless otherwise noted. Unauthorized use, reproduction, or distribution of any content is strictly prohibited without written permission from us.
Product Information, Care and Availability
We make every effort to display product details, colors, and images accurately. However, due to variations in wood grain, texture and color, the actual product may differ slightly from images on the website. These characteristics are part of what makes each board distinct and should not be considered defects.
Our products require regular maintenance to ensure longevity. We recommend using our board butter for routine conditioning. Neglecting proper care and maintenance may result in cracking, warping, or damage, for which we cannot be held responsible.
Product availability is subject to change without notice. We reserve the right to discontinue any product at any time.
Ordering and Payments
Order Placement:
- Orders can be placed directly on our website. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel orders if we detect fraudulent activity or other issues.
Payments:
- We accept major credit cards and payments through Stripe. All payments must be received in full before the shipment of any product.
Custom Orders: Personalized Craftsmanship
At Wood Instaurator, we take pride in creating unique, handcrafted pieces that reflect your individual style and preferences. Our custom orders allow you to select your preferred wood species, design patterns, and dimensions to craft a truly one-of-a-kind cutting board. Whether you’re looking for a distinctive gift or a showpiece for your own kitchen, we’re here to help bring your vision to life.
How It Works:
Design Consultation:
- We’ll start by discussing your design ideas, wood preferences (e.g., Black Walnut, Cherry, Hard Maple), and any special requirements you have in mind. We want to make sure every detail aligns with your expectations.
Quote and Approval:
- Once we finalize your design, you’ll receive a detailed quote, including material costs, labor, and shipping. A 50% deposit is required to begin production. Custom orders cannot be modified or canceled once work has started, so please confirm all details before proceeding.
Production Timeline:
- Custom orders typically take 2-4 weeks to complete, depending on complexity and current order volume. We’ll keep you updated throughout the process and provide photos of key milestones, such as glue-ups and finishing stages.
Final Payment and Delivery:
- When your custom board is complete, we’ll send you final photos and an invoice for the remaining balance. Upon receipt of payment, we’ll securely package and ship your item, along with a small tin of our signature board butter for maintenance.
Limitations and Important Notes:
Design Complexity: We specialize in geometric patterns and traditional hardwood combinations. Please note that complex carvings or CNC work is not currently available.
Size Constraints: Maximum board dimensions are limited to 20”x12”x3”.
No Returns on Custom Orders: Due to the personalized nature of custom orders, we do not accept returns unless the item is damaged or defective upon delivery.

Order Limitations and Cancellations
We reserve the right to limit or refuse any order, particularly those that appear to be placed by resellers or distributors.
If we make a change to or cancel an order, we will notify you via the email or phone number provided at the time of purchase.
Shipping and Delivery
Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on order size, weight, and destination. We ship across the United States, with varying costs depending on your location (e.g., Hawaii or Alaska may have higher shipping fees compared to the continental U.S.).
We are not responsible for delays due to unforeseen circumstances such as carrier issues or natural events.
