Down North Workshop Wood Conditioner also known as board butter, is a conditioning product used to maintain wooden cutting boards and utensils. It's typically made from a mixture of food-grade mineral oil and beeswax. The mineral oil penetrates the wood, keeping it hydrated and preventing it from drying out and cracking, while the beeswax provides a protective barrier that helps to repel water and stains1.
To use board butter, simply apply a small amount to the surface of the cutting board and spread it evenly with a clean cloth. Let it soak in for a few hours or overnight, then wipe off any excess with a dry cloth1. Regular application can help extend the life of your wooden cutting boards and keep them looking great.
