Apply Food-Safe Finish

What happens here

Apply a generous amount of Howard Butcher Block Conditioner to all surfaces of each cutting board. This product helps to moisturize the wood, prevent drying and cracking, and provides a food-safe protective layer. Using a clean cloth, rub the conditioner thoroughly into the wood, ensuring even coverage. Allow the conditioner to soak in for the recommended time (usually several hours or overnight), then wipe off any excess with a clean, dry cloth. Repeat application as needed for best protection and appearance.

Goal: The final step is to apply a food-safe conditioner to protect the wood, enhance its natural beauty, and prepare the boards for use.
