I have two cutting boards, both hardwood, one old board and one new board. For the old board (3" thick oak that I have used 40 years), I prefer the conditioner which gives a waxy, burnished surface and does a good job cleaning the board up. My new board (black walnut 3" thick) I applied multiple coats of oil to condition the wood. I used 3 coats front and back to begin. The oil will sink right in on a brand new air-dried board. The oil keeps the wood from drying out, brings out the grain, enhancing the beauty and the usefulness of the board. Each week when I was first using the new board, I have applied a couple of coats of oil. The board now looks and acts as if it is about 5 years old. I sometimes apply the conditioner after the oil as the beeswax gives some impenetrability to the wood. Both products are excellent, and I would now not go without having them! I also think the conditioner makes knife "tracks" a little less visible. My sons do not want to use their boards because of the beauty of the walnut, but of course the value of a good cutting board is its use in creating delectable things. Using these products will also make it easier to pat or roll out biscuits without them sticking to the board. **Q: Is "Butcher Block Conditioner" or "Cutting Board Oil" better for Chicago Cutlery wooden knife handles?** A: The Butcher Block Conditioner includes beeswax, which will be more water repellent than just the oil. Treating the knive handle or cutting board (esp. a butcher block style board) with multiple applications will allow the beeswax to penetrate deeply into the wood. Once done, a quick wipedown with oil is all that is needed to keep the board in good condition.Short answer: use Conditioner on an newly made handle/board or a cutting board that is not acting water repellent, and oil as a touchup after washing. **Q: Could I use this on finished oak wood, that is on most of my kitchen table and chairs?** A: Your wasting your time using this on "Finished" wood. A better option would be Murphy's Oil Soap.This is more for raw wood like cutting boards and seasoning cast iron cookware. **Q: Can you use on bamboo?** A: why not? it is a hard wood. they have bamboo cutting boards. unless there is specific instuctions from the manufacturer stating otherwise. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Essential for Maintaining Wooden Cutting Boards! *by S***L on October 4, 2024* I recently started using Howard Products BBB012 Cutting Board Oil, and it has made a significant difference in the longevity and appearance of my wooden cutting boards.

It’s food-grade and completely tasteless, which is exactly what you want. It penetrates deep into the wood grain to prevent drying and cracking, and it gives the wood a rich, renewed look.

A simple, effective product that does exactly what it's supposed to. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome Cutting Board Mineral Oil! *by A***O on March 23, 2026* This Wood Cutting Board Mineral Oil by Howard Products works excellently for restoring and protecting my mom's large, circular, wooden cutting board she received as a gift from her dad (effectively my grandfather). My mom's board was previously warping and was actually becoming concave since she kept soaking it in water. I let it dry for a few days which helped with the concaving. After applying the mineral oil generously, the cutting board's appearance immediately improved from a light tannish brown to a very dark brown with hints of red, a look I haven't remembered seeing in my lifetime of her using the board. The oil is easy to apply with a brush (for getting the oil into those small cracks) or a sponge (for quick spreading and coverage) and leaves behind no sticky residue and even eliminated the funky smell from having soaked the cutting board for days. ## Frequently Bought Together - Howard Products Food Grade Mineral Oil for Wood Cutting Board - 12 oz, Pack of 1 - Howard Products Butcher Block Conditioner and Oil Food Grade - 12 Fl Oz - Butcher Block Oil Food Grade for Enhanced Wood Care - Howard Products CBC012 Cutting Board Cleaner, Cleaner for Wooden Cutting Boards, 12 oz --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/276862-howard-products-food-grade-mineral-oil-for-wood-cutting-board](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/276862-howard-products-food-grade-mineral-oil-for-wood-cutting-board) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
