Know before you buy
Yes, these oak plates are designed for functional use and can safely hold hot food. However, they are not suitable for use in the microwave or dishwasher.
The warning is included because the plates are finished with materials that may contain trace chemicals identified by the state of California. This is a standard disclosure for many artisan-crafted home goods.
No. Because these plates are hand-carved from natural oak, each piece features unique woodgrain patterns and slight variations in texture. These differences are intentional and celebrate the organic nature of the material.
These plates must be hand-washed only using mild soap and warm water. Avoid soaking them in water or using a dishwasher, as moisture can cause the wood to warp or crack over time.
While the oak is durable, using sharp metal knives directly on the wood surface may leave scratches or marks over time. For the best longevity, we recommend using these plates for serving rather than heavy-duty cutting.
