We are designers, craftsmen, and makers. For over a decade, our process has been simple: “Imagine it, design it, make it.”
Our ADG42 Cutting Board Butter is engineered to restore and protect butcher blocks and cutting boards with zero guesswork. We heat-blend pure, raw beeswax and food-grade mineral oil under precise thermal control, balancing the ratio to create a rich, buttery consistency. It prevents drying, cracking, and cures into a clean, food-safe barrier that locks out moisture and stains.
All Natural Cutting Board Butter
Key Benefits:- The "Butter" Viscosity (Engineered for Hardwood): Firm waxes pull, drag, and take forever to spread over large wooden boards. We dialed this formula to be significantly looser and creamier. It glides effortlessly across the surface, absorbs rapidly into thirsty end-grain, and conditions deep into the board before the beeswax sets up to lock in moisture.
- 100% Food-Contact Safe (Never Turns Rancid): Plant-based oils like olive, vegetable, or canola will oxidize, spoil, and turn rancid inside your board, creating foul odors and harboring bacteria. Our formula uses strictly raw beeswax and pure food-grade mineral oil. It is completely odorless, tasteless, and safe for direct food prep immediately after buffing.
- Stops Warping, Splitting, and Drying: Repeated washing strips natural oils out of wood, leading to cracked glue seams and cupped boards. This butter penetrates the core to keep wood fibers supple while creating a water-repellent surface seal so wash water beads up instead of soaking into the grain.
- Laser-Engraved Container: Paper and vinyl labels soak up oil, slide off, and turn into sticky trash on your kitchen counter or pantry shelf. We laser engrave every heavy-duty tin in our own studio so your container stays clean, sharp, and permanently marked for life.
- Volume: 2 Ounces.
- Formulation: Proprietary, heat-blended butter ratio of Pure Natural Beeswax and Food-Grade Mineral Oil.
- Compatibility: End-Grain and Edge-Grain Cutting Boards, Butcher Blocks, Charcuterie Boards, Wooden Spoons, and Salad Bowls.
- Packaging: Heavy-duty metal tin with permanent in-house laser engraving.
- Origin: Formulated, hand-poured, and custom-engraved in the USA at the ADG42 Studio. Veteran-Owned since 2015.
Q: Why use a board butter instead of standard mineral oil or firm wax?
A: Liquid mineral oil washes out quickly, while hard waxes drag and are tough to spread over large boards. Our butter consistency gives you the best of both. The oil carries deep into the wood fibers to nourish the grain, while the beeswax stays near the surface to lock out water, juices, and stains without dragging.
Q: Will this go rancid or smell bad over time?
A: Never. Supermarket shortcuts like olive, canola, or vegetable oils contain fats that break down and spoil. Pure mineral oil and natural beeswax will never spoil, go rancid, or harbor foul odors inside your board.
Q: Why do I need to coat both sides of my cutting board?
A: If you only treat the top cutting surface, moisture will absorb unevenly from the bottom during washing. This causes the wood fibers on one side to expand faster than the other, resulting in warped, cupped, or cracked boards. Always condition both sides and all edges.
Q: How often should I apply this to my cutting board?
A: Whenever the wood begins to look dry or chalky, or when water stops beading on the surface. For boards in regular kitchen use, a quick coat once a month keeps the wood nourished and protected.
- Clean & Dry: Wash your board with mild soap and warm water, then allow it to dry completely. Never apply conditioner to damp wood.
- Apply Generously: Scoop a small amount of butter with a clean rag, paper towel, or your bare hand. Work it thoroughly into the wood in circular motions across the entire surface. Always coat both sides and the edges to prevent uneven warping.
- Let Penetrate: Let the board sit for at least 20 to 30 minutes (or overnight for dry, neglected wood) to allow the oils to sink deep into the grain.
- Buff Clean: Take a clean, dry cloth and firmly buff away any excess wax until the surface feels smooth, silky, and dry to the touch.
