Yes, Walrus Oil is generally compatible with most other wood finish brands and stains, as long as they are oil-based. However, we currently only recommend using our Furniture Finish line with products and oil-based stains made by other brands.
Yes, we only use ingredients that are 100% FDA approved for food contact surfaces to make our products! This means you can use Cutting Board Oil or even Furniture Butter on your butcher blocks or wooden utensils.
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.
