Cutting Board Wax

Available sizes: 2 oz, 4 oz, and 9 oz

The finishing step that leaves hardworking wood smoother, richer, and better prepared for everyday use.

Wood cutting boards are used, washed, and dried again and again. Over time, that routine can leave the surface looking pale, feeling rough, and absorbing moisture more readily. Oakholm Cutting Board Wax gives finished kitchen wood a simple final layer of care without turning maintenance into a project.

Applied after Cutting Board Oil, the wax helps hold conditioning oils within the wood and creates a smooth, hand-buffed surface that is easier to live with. It restores depth to the grain, improves the feel of dry wood, and helps the surface resist the effects of ordinary moisture and food preparation. The result is not a glossy coating; it is a naturally beautiful, well-cared-for board that still feels like wood.

Why it earns a place in the routine

1. Helps seal in conditioning oil and slow the return of dryness.
2. Leaves the grain smooth, rich, and comfortable under hand.
3. Adds a practical moisture-resistant barrier for everyday kitchen use.
4. Buffs cleanly without leaving the board feeling heavily coated.

Best for: Wood cutting boards, butcher blocks, carving boards, serving boards, wooden utensils, and other food-preparation wood surfaces.

How to use

1. Begin with a clean, completely dry surface. If the wood looks dry or pale, condition it first with Oakholm Cutting Board Oil.
2. Apply a small amount of wax in a thin, even layer, working with the grain.
3. Allow the wax to settle into the surface, then buff thoroughly with a clean, lint-free cloth until the wood feels smooth and dry to the touch.

Choose your size

2 oz: A low-commitment introduction, a useful gift size, or care for one smaller board.

4 oz: The everyday household size for regular care of several boards and utensils.

9 oz: The best choice for large butcher blocks, frequent maintenance, or a kitchen with an extensive wood collection.

Complete the routine: For the most complete result, use Cutting Board Oil first to condition within the wood, then Cutting Board Wax to protect and refine the surface.
