If you're in the habit of making charcuterie or cutting boards as gifts, to sell, or just to enjoy in your own kitchen, you already know that finishing is half the battle. And when it comes to safe, simple, and effective finishes, Walrus Oil Cutting Board Oil is easily one of the best on the market.
At Crown Point Wood Co, we use it ourselves in the shop. Every board we sell is finished with this oil, and for good reason: it works beautifully, it's food-safe, and it couldn’t be easier to use. Whether you're a casual maker or selling at markets, this is the finish you want in your kit.
What Is Walrus Oil Cutting Board Oil?
Walrus Oil's board oil is a blend of coconut oil, mineral oil, vitamin E, and beeswax. It's designed to penetrate deeply into the wood fibers, locking in hydration while repelling water, stains, and bacteria. The end result? A board that looks rich and vibrant, while also staying safe for food contact.
Unlike cheap, runny finishes, this oil is thick and easy to control. It absorbs into the board without leaving a greasy mess, and it hardens up nicely with time and a quick buff.
Why DIYers Love It
We see all types of customers come in looking for a finishing oil that just works. Here’s why Walrus Oil is so popular:
Beginner friendly: Wipe it on, let it sit, wipe it off. No fumes, no stress.
Food contact safe: It’s NSF certified and 100% safe for kitchen use.
Great results fast: The colour and depth it adds to end grain or edge grain boards is genuinely impressive.
No need to overthink it: It doesn’t require special tools, curing ovens, or advanced skills.
We carry 8oz bottles for small projects and test runs, but you can also grab larger sizes if you're producing a batch of boards for a market or gifting season.
How We Apply It (and How You Can Too)
In our shop, we:
1. Apply a generous coat with a cloth or gloved hands.
2. Let the board rest for 24 hours.
3. Repeat the process once more.
4. After a second 24-hour rest, we buff off any excess.
5. That’s it. The board is ready for use or sale.
No tricks, no extra tools. Just a finish that does its job well.
Walrus Oil vs. Mineral Oil
Mineral oil is fine. But if you want a richer finish, better hydration, and a touch of water resistance, Walrus Oil is a step up. It's also way more pleasant to use. You won’t find yourself second-guessing what’s in it, or how safe it is on food surfaces.
