No workshop required. All you need is sandpaper (220 grit), food-safe mineral oil, and board butter. The blanks arrive pre-glued and drum sanded to 120 grit, so you're already most of the way there. Most people finish a board in about 30 minutes of active work, plus overnight drying time.

Mineral oil followed by board butter. Here's our process: Start with a clean, dry board, give it a light sand with 180 and then 220 grit — this opens the grain and helps the oil absorb evenly. Apply your first coat generously with a cloth or paper towel, working with the grain and covering every surface including the edges and bottom. Let it soak overnight, then wipe off the excess. You'll know it's saturated when the wood stops absorbing quickly and looks consistently rich rather than patchy. Then apply board butter to both sides. This gives you a food-safe, long-lasting finish that brings out the grain beautifully.

All three work great for cutting boards — your choice comes down to aesthetics. Ambrosia Maple (most popular) has dramatic grey-blue streaking and no two blanks look the same. Black Walnut (premium choice) offers rich chocolate tones that deepen with age — the classic luxury option. Maple (clean and classic) is pale cream with minimal grain — perfect for modern, minimalist builds. Can't decide? Ambrosia Maple gives you the most visual drama per dollar.

Hand wash only with warm soapy water, then dry immediately — never put wood boards in the dishwasher or let them soak. Reapply mineral oil every few weeks (or whenever the board looks dry) to keep the wood hydrated and protected. A quick wipe with board butter once a month keeps the surface sealed. Proper care means your board will last decades, not years.
