This is so helpful! I am just getting started in wood working and making live edge charcuterie boards. Assuming the same method since they both need to be food safe and get washed often! I was so dumbfounded the last time I finished mine... Washed them and they got so rough! I now realize it was because the grain hadn't done the raising yet. SO helpful - thank you!

I purchased a gallon of this for a large order of cutting boards. Never used it before but I am excited to try it. I had a few questions about the products and emailed their support to get clarification. With minutes the owner replied back solving my questions. Customer support from Walrus Oil is top notch and after watching this video I feel vary confident the product is as well. Great video and looking forward to seeing more. Easy choice to subscribe.

So, the protective oil didn't even keep the grain from swelling initially? Sounds like more Snake, than Walrus, oil. The oils that specify the soak-wipe excess-dry- recoat- soak-wipe excess process are likely polymerizing with the oxygen in the air, noted by the rapid change from thin to sticky over half an hour. Two or three such coats results in a hardening protective finish; it may or may not be foodsafe. Walrus oil has Coconut oil and Vitamin E, entirely cosmetic on a cutting board, whereas bulk beeswax blocks and pharmacy mineral oil are quite cheap; but, hey, everybody's gotta make a living, right?
@bentswoodworking5 жыл бұрын
I do it this way to avoid the grain raising after the first was, not from applying the oil necessarily
