How to make a Cutting Board | Recycled Hardwood Flooring

What happens here

Apply a generous amount of food-safe mineral oil or butcher block conditioner to the entire surface of the cutting board. Use a clean cloth or applicator pad to rub the oil into the wood grain, ensuring full saturation. Allow the oil to soak in for several hours, then wipe off any excess. Multiple coats may be applied for enhanced protection and appearance.

Goal: Protect and enhance the appearance of the cutting board with a food-safe finish.
