$7.00 BAMBOO CUTTING BOARD WHAT!!!!

[Hawging It]

Yep. Last week my wife had to do some final Christmas buying and hooked me into going. After several stops we went to TJMAX. I say to myself Dang! I'm ready to head to the house and smoke something. Well, I headed into TJ MAX with head up and very alert trying to keep from getting run over by all of the shoppers. I headed back to the kitchen section looking around. Low and behold they had a section for cutting boards. Found just what I needed. A Bamboo board for $7.00. On the way home, stopped by Lowes and picked up the conditioner. Put on about 6 layers over a 3 day period. Got it resting for for a few days. Glad she hooked me into going shopping. Happy New Year to all!!

Board looks nice. And price can't be beat. I would have grabbed a few of them.
I just put the 4th coat of the same conditioner on my new ones.

Very nice!! I bought that conditioner last week. I need to get going on mine. Btw another great place to score discount prices bamboo boards is Burlington if you have one nearby. They have a set I hope to pick up tomorrow to use for charcuterie boards.

Very nice find.
And the Howard Butcher Block conditioner is good stuff.
It almost makes your boards and utensiles waterproof.
Much much better than plain food grade mineral oil.

Nice Score!!
I should get something like that.
My Son says to use the one he made me, but I can't bring myself to scratching it, especially with my Electric knife, which is like a freaking Chainsaw on a wood cutting board!!
Like.

That board is beautiful. I’d only use it for food pics or charcuterie :)

Nice score!

You just reminded me, I need some of that conditioner. Heading to Lowe’s after work.

Not trying to rob the OP's thread. But it would be a cold day in hell before I cut on that board Bear. Your son does fantastic work. And that board is beautiful.

Good suggestion on the conditioner. Realized the other day that I need to treat my board. Wondering about oiling first then conditioner, versus just the conditioner. Any suggestions?

Just use the conditioner. No oil required.

Excellent, thank you!

The Howard conditioner has food grade mineral oil added to the natural wax. It is fine on its own without applying additional oil.

Thank you! I appreciate the advice.

You're welcome.

The conditioner is thicker than food grade mineral oil so it is not messy when applying to your boards etc.

What a deal!

Yes, there is more and more pretty bamboo showing up all the time. And it's "sustainable" meaning they aren't cutting old-growth timber to make it. Bamboo is basically giant grass.

Thanks. That was the last one in that style. Didn't care for the others. I will check back again.

Conditioner really brought the nice color of the bamboo.
