Your EndGrain Cutting Board will arrive oiled and waxed so you can use it right away. BUT do season your board several times during the first two weeks of having your board. End-grain cutting boards are more porous and can handle more oil than a typical wood edge-grain cutting board. There’s no such thing as too much oil, the wood won’t take on any more oil once it’s fully saturated. Just remember to wipe off the extra using a lint-free kitchen towel and to set your EndGrain Cutting Board to dry on its edge to allow the air to flow evenly around the surfaces of the board.
