Product Information
Full details
The John Boos Block Board Cream is an essential maintenance solution for home cooks and professionals who rely on wooden cutting boards, butcher blocks, and serving bowls. It provides a vital protective barrier that prevents wood from drying, cracking, or warping over time. While highly effective at revitalizing aged wood, users should note that the cream requires a brief curing period before the surface can be used for food preparation again.

FAQs
Is this cream safe for use on food surfaces?
Yes, it is formulated with food-grade ingredients and is safe for all wood surfaces used for food preparation.
How often should I treat my cutting board?
For boards used daily, once a month is recommended. If the wood appears light, faded, or dry, treat it immediately.
Can I use this on bamboo products?
Yes, this cream is suitable for bamboo, maple, walnut, and most other types of butcher block wood.
Will this product change the color of the wood?
It will temporarily darken the wood to its natural, hydrated tone, which is standard for oil-based wood treatments.
Does it have a smell?
No, the formula is specifically designed to be odorless and tasteless.
Troubleshooting
The wood feels greasy after application
You likely used too much cream. Use a clean, dry cloth to buff away the excess until the wood feels smooth, not slick.
The cream is too hard to squeeze out
In cold temperatures, the beeswax may thicken. Warm the tube slightly in your hands or place it in a bowl of warm (not hot) water for a minute.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before applying the cream, ensure the cutting board is thoroughly cleaned and completely dry. Use a soft cloth to apply a generous amount to the wood surface, working it into the grain using circular motions. Let the product sit for at least four to six hours, or preferably overnight, to allow deep absorption. Once the wood has absorbed the cream, buff away any surface residue with a clean, dry lint-free cloth. Store the tube in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the beeswax and oil blend.
