Caring for Your Honu Pieces
Your Honu Living resin and timber pieces are designed to bring beauty to everyday moments — from relaxed grazing nights to special gatherings with friends.
With a little love and care, your boards, bowls, knives, and coasters will stay looking beautiful for years to come.
Here are a few simple tips to help you look after them.
🧼 Hand Wash Only
Our resin and timber pieces prefer a gentle clean.
- Wash with warm soapy water
- Use a soft sponge or cloth
- Dry immediately with a towel
🚫 Please avoid the dishwasher — the heat and harsh detergents can damage both the resin and timber.
🌿 Nourish the Timber
Timber is a natural material and loves a little hydration.
Every few weeks (depending on use), apply:
- Food-safe mineral oil
- Grapeseed Oil
This helps keep the timber moisturised, prevents cracking, and keeps your board looking fresh.
☀️ Avoid Extreme Temperatures
To keep your pieces in their best shape:
- Avoid direct sunlight for long periods
- Keep away from ovens, stovetops, and heaters
- Don’t expose them to extreme cold or heat
Sudden temperature changes can cause timber to warp or resin to expand.

💛 A Little Tip from Honu Living
When creating a grazing board, we love placing baking paper under cheeses or antipasto items.
It helps protect the resin and gives your board that effortless, styled grazing look.
