When a cutting board has been finish sanded for the final time and wiped free of any dust it is then ready to be coated in a generous amount of food safe mineral oil. This oil permeates deep into the fibers of the wood and allows it to remain presentable while still being safe for you to cut on. It is hands down my favorite step in the build process because we finally get to see what the product we have been making will really look like. Some woods really reveal nicely like this walnut, cherry, bloodwood combination in the picture. Now it’s ready to find its new home!
