The best way to care for a butcher block is with a combination of Cutting Board Oil and Board Butter. Chopping board oil penetrates deeply into wood fibers, and board butter is a great surface protectant that also gives the board a nice luster. Our cutting board care kits contain the same board butter we've been making for the last 20 years and the same oil that we soak our butcher block in before shipping them to you. Our chopping board oil has a lower viscosity than some on the market, allowing it to penetrate and protect wood fibers better. Our beeswax is sourced from a beekeeper and conservationist in Ohio we've worked with for years. Most beeswax these days is sourced in China, and is often adulterated with large percentages of paraffin and stearin. Ours, on the other hand, is 100% beeswax and sourced exclusively in the U.S. (typically from hives in Ohio, North Dakota, and Idaho).
Includes Board Butter (a mixture of Beeswax and USP Food Safe Mineral Oil in a resealable tub) and Cutting Board Oil (USP Food Safe Mineral Oil in a resealable bottle).
Available in three sizes:
Medium (4 oz Board Butter + 12 oz Cutting Board Oil
Large (8 oz Board Butter + 16 oz Cutting Board Oil)
XL (8 oz Board Butter + 24 oz Cutting Board Oil)
*As a point of reference, an un-oiled 16 X 22 maple butcher block can typically hold 12-14 ounces of cutting board oil. Boardsmith butcher blocks have been oiled prior to shipping, but they still need heavy initial oiling when you receive them.
How to use:
Thoroughly clean, sanitize, and dry the cutting surface of your board. Pour Cutting Board Oil on face of the board an ounce or two at a time until oil can no longer absorb into the board. This process might take a few minutes. Let dry and wipe away any excess.Using a soft cloth apply a quarter-sized dab of Board Butter and rub inFinish by buffing off any excess butter
This product is intended to be an add on item. Due to the weight of the cutting board care kit, we must charge for shipping when it is ordered on its own. To save on shipping, consider ordering with one of our other items to reach the free shipping minimum.
Note: Because these are consumable items, care kits can not be returned.

I wish we could cut in half so we’d actually use it.
After months of planning and remodeling our kitchen, I wanted a cutting board that would be more than just another kitchen accessory. I wanted something that would complement the finished space, be functional, and showcase some genuine craftsmanship.
Enter The Boardsmith’s end-grain maple cutting board.
This thing is an absolute showstopper. After applying the oil and board butter, the maple grain came to life, revealing a beautiful pattern and warmth that looks incredible against our new quartz countertops and white Shaker cabinets.
The craftsmanship is outstanding. It’s substantial, beautifully constructed, and has the kind of timeless appearance that makes you appreciate the work that went into creating it.
I purchased this board intending to use it, but I’ll admit, it looks so good sitting on the counter that I almost hate to put a knife to it. Almost.
If you’re considering a Boardsmith cutting board, I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. This is exactly the quality and craftsmanship I was hoping for.
The only thing missing is Clark standing in the kitchen admiring it with me.
I immediately purchased the kit at the same time I purchased the board. Why mess around? These folks are committed to excellent quality. The kit ensures you keep the board in tip top shape.
After a lot of research, I purchased my first wooden cutting boards and a care kit. I love them! I used the large board to cut up a Boston Butt pork roast and several beef chuck roasts for a Brunswick stew. They require a bit more maintenance than plastic cutting boards, but it's worthwhile because I'm working to move away from plastics.
Oil and Board Butter arrived in perfect shape and my new board drank and drank! The oil is beautifully clean and water now beads on the surface and rolls off.
A great company to work with!
