Q: Can I customize the size or design of a product?
A: Absolutely! We love bringing your vision to life. Many of our products can be customized in terms of size, wood type, and finish. Please contact us with your specific requirements and we'll be happy to discuss the possibilities.
Q: How do I care for my Ryan's Woodworking product?
A: To ensure the longevity of your piece:
- Avoid harsh chemicals: Don't use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Protect from heat and moisture: Use coasters and trivets to prevent damage from hot dishes or spills.
- Oil/wax regularly (if applicable): For cutting boards and other food-contact items, apply a food-safe mineral oil or wax every few months to maintain the wood's moisture and prevent cracking.
