Butcher Board – Maple – 16″ × 21″ × 2″
Our Finishing Process
Every Lopez Woodworks cutting board is hand-finished with pure tung oil — not mineral oil.
Tung oil is a drying oil that cures within the wood, creating a durable, water-resistant finish. Mineral oil can soak into the wood but does not harden, which is why it requires more frequent reapplication.
We choose tung oil because it provides greater durability, a richer feel, and a finish more consistent with fine furniture. It takes more time to apply and cure, but the result is a surface built for long-term use.
After the tung oil finish has fully cured, we apply a protective topcoat of Lopez Woodworks Wood Wax — a blend of walnut oil, carnauba wax, and beeswax.
Each board includes RMP Finishes Cutting Board Oil for routine maintenance, along with Lopez Woodworks Wood Wax for added protection.
All finishes used are food-safe.
Shipping
Limited Edition boards ship within 1–2 business days. Since these pieces are already built, there is no production lead time. All boards are carefully packaged and include cutting board oil, wood wax, and care instructions.
