Howard Products BBB012 Cutting Board Oil, 12 oz

Review of Howard Products BBB012 Cutting Board Oil, 12 oz I like the John Boos Mystery Oil and Cream better. It seems like the Howard Products oil soaks in and evaporates. The Boos oil & cream (use the oil first and then the cream) - those products last for months before I need to re-do them. All my countertops and island have butcher block.

You wont go wrong with this oil. Its perfect for new wood and old neglected wood. My wife and I used this on an 80 year old butcher block we bought at a garage sale. (We dated the butcher block by looking at the local history and when the deli that was stamped on the side of the block went out of business) The butcher block was well used and in good shape but the wood was dry. We coated the entire piece including the bottom and the legs and we used several bottles. The wook absorbed this oil quickly and it never left an oily or slimy feeling behind. It also helped to give the wood a healthy look to the oxidation. It also smoothed out the top as the grain swelled to fill the cuts in the top and the end grain expanded slightly. We use the butcher block as an end table now and we have never had an issue with water rings from glasses and we have no worry about what we set on top of the block. This oil really helps protect the wood as well as restoring the natural moisture. Pros: It helps preserve the wood and expand the grains for a smoother feel Its easily absorbed into the wood. It doesnt have a foul smell or impart any taste to foods Cons: The wood will really absorb this oil You may need a lot of it for new and untreated wood or neglected wood.

I have a modest 1960s home that had beautiful wood cabinets from Nappanee Indiana. Part of this included an integrated cutting board. Id cleaned this board and sanded it down but left it until I could get oil for it. Life got in the way and this board sat for 15 years sanded and not sealed with oil. I finally bought this stuff and oh my I am impressed with how much oil it has soaked up. I am also impressed with how good this rather simple board looks. I have applied a good heavy coat and had very little excess to wipe off. Will do another tomorrow and then use the wood conditioner to maintain this and all of my neglected boards and countertops. This stuff is inexpensive and works very well. Very much worth the cost and easy to apply.

The oil is great, it will probably last me a year or more. I have not yet figured out how to cancel the subscription so I dont end up with a 10 year supply.

Used this product on some cutting boards my grandson and I made at Christmas. Works well

We have been using various wood treatment products for the butcher block top on our rolling shelf unit, and with no success. This seems to be what weve been hoping to find.

I’ve used this product for a few years on cutting boards primarily. A kitchen renovation involved adding a butcher block counter top and shelves made from the off-cuts. I treated those 8 pieces (about 10’ x 2’ x 2 sides, plus edges) with 4 coats. Took one bottle of this product. Even the contractors were surprised how well it came out. I do wish it explained what “mineral oil” is as it claims it’s good grade.

High quality product. A little goes a long way. I engrave cutting boards and then fill the engravings with resin, sand the boards, and then treat them with this oil and they always turn out beautiful!

Great value. Applied to our new Lacuna bamboo cutting board. Worked perfectly...

Used this on my hand crafted cutting board made of multiple kinds of wood. Ive used this oil on an actual butchers block as well, and both times Ive gotten great results. There is no scent, but I gave it 5 stars for smell because I dont want my cutting board to smell like anything, that would definitely ruin my dinner!
