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 wanted to get away from plastic so this was my first wood cutting board, the smallest one. It's very solid and the maple end blocks form an artistic pattern. I read the directions, learned about the oil preparation and was surprised by how much oil the board soaked up, but after a few hours I wiped off the excess and put the wax on. it looks great and works perfectly. Knives leave no mark on the surface and i don't have to worry about plastic particles in my food..
I like the cutting board care kit. The items are easy to use and keep my board in top shape.
Perfect starter kit. I got the XL Care Kit version even though I bought the 22x16 but glad I did since that maple end grain drank up almost 12 full ounces during initial oiling! The butter works great too and happy with everything thus far.

We absolutely love our cutting board. We got the largest size because we do a lot of cutting. We can’t even see where we’ve made the cuts as it still looks brand new.
