All of our products are made with 100% FDA food-safe ingredients. Out of an abundance of caution, we put this disclaimer on wood finishes and leather care goods so they don't get confused for something else, like a cooking oil for example
Nope! It's just a clever name and walrus is a federally protected species anyways (thanks goodness). Although we believe our products are as strong as a walrus, no walrus is used in the making of Walrus Oil.
Our Furniture Finish line is certified plant-based because all of the ingredients used are derived from plants. Our Cutting Board Oil and Wood Wax are vegetarian because they contain beeswax.
If the wood you are working with is completely dry (which is always necessary for woodworking) there is no way you could end up with mold caused by our products.
For example: Can you mix sealing Cutting Board Oil with Furniture Wax? Or Furniture Butter with Wood Wax? Yes. Our products are all oil-based so they can be paired with no issues, just make sure you are using oils first and waxes on top!
After applying and buffing away oil/wax, is it necessary to wash the board with light soap and water before cutting food on it? There is no need to wash after applying finish! Just make sure to give it a good buff and allow 24 hours for drying.
Cutting Board Oil penetrates and is a deep conditioner, while Wood Wax coats and seals the wood surface. Tip: When using both products together, apply the Cutting Board Oil first and then the Wood Wax as a final coat.
