How will my item be shipped?Your item(s) will ship via the United States Post Office, Priority Mail (insured).
In a box :)
Transit time will vary based on your location but should only be a few days.
How do you charge for shipping?Shipping is free. No extra charge for shipping.
When will my item be shipped?For items marked "in stock, ready to ship", the next day. For items marked "made to order", you'll get an e-mail
with an E.T.A. on your order. Most items will still ship the next day, but it depends on my schedule at the time of your order.
If you want to know when something will be in stock before you order, feel free to
contact me and I'll let you know.
Do you ship outside the continental U.S.?Orders destined for AK, HI and any of the territories or possessions of the U.S. are shipped by standard U.S. Postal mail.
Regular shipping charges apply, and the post office website says three days for Priority Mail, but expect it to take longer.
Do you extend credit?On occasion, credit will be extended to repeat and/or regular customers.
What if it was damaged during shipment?Call or e-mail, and take pictures of the outside of the box, packing materials, and the damaged item with as much detail as possible.
I will replace the damaged item as soon as you return it to me.
What if I don't like it?Why'd you buy it?
You were probably going to give it to someone as a gift :) They'll love it!
What is your privacy policy?Your privacy is important to me.
View my privacy policy here.What's the difference between a vessel and an urn?A vessel cannot be readily sealed as is recommended for ashes of the deceased.
If you would like an urn made from an existing vessel there will be an extra charge which will be determined at the time based on the vessel you've chosen.
Please contact me in advance of ordering, as it is sometimes not possible to seal a vessel.I will welcome your commission of an urn solemnly and reverently.
Can I really eat from a wooden bowl?Of course! For many hundreds of years people ate from wooden bowls, drank from wooden cups, and ate with wooden spoons.
Some of us still do (mostly for purposes of nostalgia).
Aren't there more germs on a wood cutting board?In a word, no. It's vigorously debated but the germ count is probably the same.
Clean your cutting board often (whatever it's made of, wherever you get it) just to be safe. A little bit of bleach works well.
Most people I know keep one board for meat and another for vegetables.
Professional chefs seem to prefer wooden cutting boards (it's a bit easier on the edge of their knives).
Why can't I put my bowl/plate/cutting board into the dish washer?It's not cause they won't fit obviously. It's because they'll be ruined in short order (likely with the first or second wash).
How do I clean it then?Hot soapy water. Don't leave them to soak.
