Finish Options
Food safe oil: Mineral oil based solution to penetrate and seal wood that will be used as a food preparation surface. Requires continued oilingevery 5 to 6 weeks with cutting board oil or Boos Board cream.
Varnique: Exclusive John Boos varnish, formulated to protect surfaces and repel water and common household chemicals. Will chip if cut on, so not for use on cutting or food preparation surfaces.No maintenance required.
