The best way to care for a butcher block is with a combination of Cutting Board Oil and Board Butter. Chopping board oil penetrates deeply into wood fibers, and board butter is a great surface protectant that also gives the board a nice luster. Our cutting board care kits contain the same board butter we've been making for the last 20 years and the same oil that we soak our butcher block in before shipping them to you. Our chopping board oil has a lower viscosity than some on the market, allowing it to penetrate and protect wood fibers better. Our beeswax is sourced from a beekeeper and conservationist in Ohio we've worked with for years. Most beeswax these days is sourced in China, and is often adulterated with large percentages of paraffin and stearin. Ours, on the other hand, is 100% beeswax and sourced exclusively in the U.S. (typically from hives in Ohio, North Dakota, and Idaho).
Includes Board Butter (a mixture of Beeswax and USP Food Safe Mineral Oil in a resealable tub) and Cutting Board Oil (USP Food Safe Mineral Oil in a resealable bottle).
Available in three sizes:
Medium (4 oz Board Butter + 12 oz Cutting Board Oil
Large (8 oz Board Butter + 16 oz Cutting Board Oil)
XL (8 oz Board Butter + 24 oz Cutting Board Oil)
*As a point of reference, an un-oiled 16 X 22 maple butcher block can typically hold 12-14 ounces of cutting board oil. Boardsmith butcher blocks have been oiled prior to shipping, but they still need heavy initial oiling when you receive them.
How to use:
Thoroughly clean, sanitize, and dry the cutting surface of your board. Pour Cutting Board Oil on face of the board an ounce or two at a time until oil can no longer absorb into the board. This process might take a few minutes. Let dry and wipe away any excess.Using a soft cloth apply a quarter-sized dab of Board Butter and rub inFinish by buffing off any excess butter
This product is intended to be an add on item. Due to the weight of the cutting board care kit, we must charge for shipping when it is ordered on its own. To save on shipping, consider ordering with one of our other items to reach the free shipping minimum.
Note: Because these are consumable items, care kits can not be returned.

I received my walnut "brick" boards and the care kit I ordered for them in mid-May, and loosely followed the instructions to apply the oil weekly (okay - approx every 10 days) for the first month or so. I'm now on monthly applications.
As you might expect, both the mineral oil and beeswax go on easily. I've probably been overcautious and let the oil soak in for about 10 minutes, then liberally applied more and waited 20 minutes before wiping it all down. Finally I let that sit for another hour or two before applying the wax. So far, everything looks great and has been a joy to use. The boards are spectacular!
It’s as nice as they said, we followed the instructions and it did exactly as the instructions said it would. Used a lot of oil to achieve the final saturation point.
My wife is still shy in cutting and cleaning but I think she’ll eventually see the superior quality an start daily use.
I wanted to say thank you for your fine job of fabricating my new cutting board. This board stays put on the countertop and provides a wonderful work surface for any meal preparation.
18” x 30” x 2 1/2” thick Walnut end grain with juice groove, finger grooves, and feet to slightly elevate the board. Thank you for your willingness to consider my preferences. The care kit will aid me in the care of this new keepsake. Thank you again!
