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

Great products for keeping my beautiful boards in excellent condition.
The board butter melted in shipping due to the hot weather st the time, but they replaced it. Excellent customer service. Many many thanks!
I found references to these cutting boards while searching for replacements for existing hard plastic boards. I purchased a “sidekick” board ~ 9x9 which I could use in a tight corner of my kitchen, to see whether larger ones were for me. I was so pleased with the first one that I quickly ordered a large one as my main cutting board workspace. I purchased an end lock board and it is beautiful as well as functional. I am looking for another open space on a counter to get a third. Maintenance is a chore, but worth the time and effort to keep these boards in top condition.
I like the board, good craftsmanship. I’m so so disappointed that I got grooves in my board tho. It throws up the ease of use and a lot of the reason I feel like I got the board. The board is good quality, I just had the choice of getting grooves I made
Considering how much the board cost, I would think that when I received it, I wouldn’t have to go through the process of oiling and waxing it again, at least right away.
Suggestion.
Oil the boards sufficiently BEFORE shipping so that the customer doesn’t have the added hassle of doing it himself.
Ended up buying three boards because they are so beautiful. Even the sale or one-off boards are beautiful so I couldn’t help myself bought a one-off board. Love them. Oiled it over two days and the weight and quality are second to none. I tried to buy a board locally from an artisan but some of these people are so flaky and it was hit or miss. Just a buy a board here instead and you know I’ll get first quality.
