Cutting Board Oil and Wood Butcher Block Oil, 8 oz Bottle, FDA Food-Safe

My cousin makes these beautiful boards of all kinds. Cutting boards and cheese boards and coasters as well as many other things. He recommended Walrus oil to keep them looking good and it is fiod safe.

I forgot to take a before photo but this product brought new life to my collection of vintage teak items. I did a fair amount of research before selecting this product, because I didnt want to cause any damage to the wood. I used a tea towel and was able to treat all of these items with multiple coats using only half the bottle! The wood drank up the moisture and restored the beautiful wood grain textures and color to its original vibrance! And now they have another great protective layer for many more dinners to come! My only complaint was that the oil comes out of the bottle super fast, but it only took a few tries to get the hang of how hard to squeeze the bottle (I ended up just tipping it to the side and letting it pour out on its own). I also bought the wax for my cutting boards and my cheese dome to protect it from the elements when sitting in the fridge.

The oil soaked right into the cutting board

So everyone will do things different. Its all a matter of taste. I have used several products and I like this one the best. I feel I get the best results when I apply one coat and let dry over night. Then I hit the wood lightly with some 400 grit sandpaper, sanding by hand with the grain. Wipe clean. Apply a second light coat and dry over night. Then apply the Walrus Wood Wax and buff. Leaves an awesome finish.

This stuff is amazing it restored a cutting board that was beginning to dry out. Its almost like new again!

I love this stuff. It does darken the wood, but it brings out a beautiful color. It feels way more buttery and higher quality than any other oil that I’ve used. I do wish that the largest bottle had a pour spout of some kind though. I can’t pour the stuff out without it dripping down the sides.

Soaks right in

Really brings out the finish look on wood. Walnut looks amazing.

I have a Chicago Cutlery chefs knife that I bought in 1996. It has a two piece riveted wooden handle. At the time I bought it, it was a robust, dark-natural color. Over the years, the handle became lifeless and pretty much ghost-white as the wood handle dried up. I was thinking about trying to replenish it with one of the food unsafe oils---and while I imagine that would have worked great, I still thought it would be prudent for a food knife to use a food-safe product. So anyway, I bought this oil, definitely safe for food-related wood. It seems to have more or less worked. I was hoping to be wowed by a return to that original deeper color, but we only got about half of the way there. Definitely better, and Im basically satisfied that the handle got what it needed, but Im not quite as impressed as I wanted to be. But it looks fine, the handle is not sticky after doing a couple applications, feels moisturized and the knife is back in business. So Im giving it 4 stars, but I want to stress, it is possible I have no idea what Im talking about, and maybe this is a fantastic result for a knife of this age washed a million times in the dishwasher. I just dont know, Im not a knife guy.

I have a Karlby countertop from ikea and I used a microfiber to apply the oil and the result is incredible. I only did a first coat and let it sit for 48 hrs. Attached is the before and after pic for reference.
