How to Care For Your Boards
A wood cutting or serving board can last for many years with routine cleaning and care. After use be sure to clean with soap and water, wipe with a dry cloth and allow to dry thoroughly. Every few weeks, depending on use, apply food safe mineral oil or a wood conditioner. Aultman Woodworks Wood Conditioner is made from food-safe mineral oil, beeswax and carnauba wax. Including wax in the conditioner adds an extra layer of protection to lessen water penetration to your board. With a soft cloth or your hand (the warmth of your hand helps melt the wax) apply a small amount to the board and let it soak in for several hours or overnight then buff with a soft cloth.
After using for a period of time and if the board gets a little fuzzy, you may want to renew the surface. Sand with a fine grit sandpaper—400 grit or higher—wipe clean and apply more mineral oil or wood conditioner following the steps above. That's it!!
