Waterproof and Enhance Any Wood Surface with the Cutting Board Wax the Pros Use

Our Wood Wax for Cutting Boards is handcrafted with all natural Beeswax, Coconut Oil, and Vitamin E, and provides added protection against water and moisture while bringing out wood’s natural color and a subtle shine on your cutting boards, charcuterie boards, and more. Extra dense, it creates a durable protective layer that helps prevent cracking and drying over time.

Apply after Cutting Board Oil has dried or use on its own—our Wood Wax is easy to apply, NSF Certified for food-contact surfaces, and ensures your cutting boards remain protected.

Wood Wax Product Details

For new builds always apply oil finishes before wax finishes, since oil will likely not penetrate a waxed surface well. We recommend using a nonabrasive pad whether you're using wax as a finish or polish. This will ensure you don't sand out any oil finishes in the wood. Simply apply a conservative amount of wax to the entire wood surface. Avoid over-saturation or leaving standing wax for long periods of time. Allow 15-30 minutes to set, then buff away any excess wax. For more application guidelines, visit our "Product Instructions" page!

In the United States, NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) is synonymous with certifying products as safe for food-contact surfaces. It's considered the gold standard for restaurants and food production facilities. Earning NSF certification is a rigorous and costly process, underscoring why Walrus Oil stands out as one of the best products for cutting boards and butcher block. Walrus Oil proudly holds NSF certification for its Cutting Board Oil, Wood Wax, and Cast Iron Oil, all of which are certified safe for food-contact surfaces and every ingredient is also GRAS (generally regarded as safe) by the FDA.

Among the hardwoods favored for cutting boards and butcher block, end grain hard maple takes the spotlight. Renowned for its exceptional durability, it can endure heavy daily use with proper maintenance, making it a staple in many restaurants, butcher shops, and home kitchens. Additionally, cherry wood and walnut are also noteworthy options for their beauty and durability.

First of all, never put your cutting board in a dishwasher. This might sound like a good idea, but the high temperatures and moisture will cause the glue in your cutting board to come undone and it wouldn't be surprising to find your cutting board split and in pieces after only one wash. Don't do it, unless you're desperate to get out of cooking dinner! To safely wash your board we recommend cleaning with cold or lukewarm water and light dish soap.

Wood Wax is a non-polymerizing wax and we only recommend its use after application of a non-polymerized finish, like our Cutting Board Oil or Coconut Oil.

Fantastic addition

I tried this out on top of my usual board oil (Mystic Woodworks, RIP...I think?) and it made for an excellent complement to the routine. After heavy holiday usage, my cutting board is still beading water. I'm happy enough that I've decided to try the Walrus Cutting Board Oil when the Mystic oil is finally used up in the next couple months.

Great Product!

Purchased the Cutting Board Wax and couldn't be more pleased with the results. All natural, little to no residue and most importantly did a great job highlighting the natural figure of the wood. Will definitely purchase more Walrus Oil products in the future!!

Purchased Walrus cutting board oil and wax form our local hardware store to use on projects for my daughters. Made a cat shaped and chihuahua shaped cutting boards. Easy to use and gave a great shine and appearance to the wood. Really brought out the colors of the maple and cherry. Will use both again on cutting boards that i am making as a donation.

Made cat shaped and Chihuahua shaped cutting boards for my daughters. Maple and cherry. Used Walrus Oil followed by Walrus wax on both. Easy to use and gave a great brightness and shine to both boards. They almost didn't want to use them! Making more boards for some auctions and will use both products on them.
