Good morning all,
Here I go with another impulse buy! I believe you can't have too any boards. And I've grown fond of the bamboo boards. The couple that has been used for a couple years now are holding up very well. If they are dulling the blades I'm not seeing it so far. Plus, I have a great sharpener if they are.
So, while cruising around the other day these popped up.

They'll be put into action after they get a few coats of oil. The price was nice. 20.00 for the both of them.
 
Nice boards Steve. I got a new maple cutting board for Christmas last year.

I need to look at that butcher block conditioner, how do you like it? I’ve been using mineral oil on mine.
 
Were did u find that deal?

Found them on Amazon. Just went and looked. They are out of stock. Not surprising considering they were about 7.00 cheaper from anywhere else I looked. I see they are listed for 27.00 on other sites.

I like it better then just mineral oil. It is easier to apply because you don't have to worry about it dripping all over. It is like a cream/jell out of the bottle. I bought it at Lowes.
 
I believe I got that same board for Christmas last year and love mine. In my area Burlington has some really nice looking bamboo boards cheap. There was a set of three that I’m thinking of getting to use a charcuterie boards. So should I be oiling the bamboo?

Heck of a deal. Where could one find a nice bamboo board?
 
I have a couple of bamboo boards & they definitely will take a beating. I cut meat on them & wash them with soap & water. And every once in a while I put some mineral oil on them. I also have a couple of Boos Blocks & they are a pain in the ass to keep up. They need to be sanded or scraped & oiled often, but they are very soft & kind to my knives!

That’s good then, yeah I make a mess with it. I’m gonna grab some

Good stuff . Mineral oil and bees wax . A must for end grain boards . Seals gaps and cuts . About 10 bucks a bottle here . I just did 4 boards for Christmas gifts . 3 coats on each , still have half the bottle left .

I checked my local Lowe’s, it’s in stock. I never had a real wood cutting board that required maintenance, so this is all new to me. I used mineral oil, works well but is messy.

Don't put so much on at one time ,,, LOL .
That's where I buy it . It's in by the wood stains / wax and polish . Paint department .
Pick up some clean rags . One to apply , one to buff .

Yep. I even use it on my wood cooking utensiles and knife handles.
 
What knife sharpener are you using?
