Looking to perfect your cutting boards and butcher blocks? Are you tired of the endless maintenance cycles that comes with using mineral oil? Try out Osmo oil for an easy DIY cutting board finish.
OSMO oil is one of the most popular oil finishes on the market, and for good reason. This oil finish is perfect for any wood surface. That being said people are still using the lazy method of Mineral oil which wile was fine in the past, there are better choices these days.
Not only does it last longer with minimal maintenance, it is cheaper per volume than both Rubio Monocoat or Odies oil!
In this video we will discuss the benefits to Osmo oil as well as give a step by step walkthrough on its application. The cutting board in this video is end grain Ambrosia Maple.

Nice.... I used tung oil on my last board and it looks good and is lasting quite a while. This looks great.... I will try this on my next cutting board. Thanks for the video!

I've been off work a few weeks. In all sincerity, it absolutely never occurred to me that the oil on cutting board is a priority or even an existence. What an amazing world we live in.

Hi! What about maintenance? What do you say to your clients, they have to buy whole can to just reaply osmo twice a year?Thats a bit nonsense, same as sending board to u, so u will reaply osmo. I also want to try using osmo for cutting boards, but maintenance is a big problem for me - how to make sure ur customer will take care of that board correctly. I was also thinking about applying osmo, but giving customer a tiny can of homemade wax mix (carnauba+beewax) for maintenance. What do you think about that? Great video, cheers!

We like to include a small info card about proper care. To be honest I can say about 80 percent of the people I know that buy nice cutting boards don't do the maintenance regardless. Carnauba and beeswax is a great long lasting combo. Our biggest reason for using the Osmo is when compared to plain mineral oil a lot of guys use. even if the board is never used (which a lot of people I have seen buy only do so for display purposes) it looks dried out and dull within a month or two. I have boards in our showroom that look the same as day 1 - 2 years later that were coated with the Osmo. If I was to suggest a method that doesn't change your current style too much is to do your initial applications with Osmo oil and IF the person actually wants to use AND maintain the board then continue to supply the small can of Beeswax/Carnuba for continued maintenance.

Hi is osmo wood wax finish 3101 clear or 1101 the best for chopping boards thanks

@Wood2Art 2 ай бұрын

Personally, I am a fan of the 3045 but if yours set on using their wax line I would use the 1101 as it is thinner and can penetrate the wood fibers/ pore fill better.

I’ve tried using it and when I cut it leaves very visible marks. Am I applying it too thickly? Or maybe two l thin layers isn’t enough? Thanks

@Wood2Art 8 ай бұрын

Lot of variables here and hard to say without seeing how you applied.. I've got a board with light use over the last 6 months I'm getting ready to refresh with a new layer as it's started accumulating some marks. Still lasts longer looking good than regular mineral oil 😁

what kind of cloth do you use for applying it?

@Wood2Art 5 ай бұрын

Might sound weird but we prefer terry cloth rags. yes they leave some lint behind but its big lint and you can see it. take your blow torch and sweep it.. no more lint Lol Other rags leave smaller lint that sometimes you don't see right away. Micro fibers tend to get overloaded too quickly when dry buffing.

Osmo now has a specific product for chopping boards. Wonder how that goes?

I recently heard about that too. working on some comparison videos right now and will get my hands on this new product to try out.

Hi All, I’ve been using Osmo 3045 on cutting boards for a long time. It’s obviously far superior to mineral oil and wax. My question is why don’t more people use it on cutting boards and charcuterie boards? Are people not convinced it’s actually food safe? Do they not trust the Europeans to classify it as food safe?

@Wood2Art 7 ай бұрын

I Honestly believe it is just the way people have always done it and their hesitant to change. " If it aint broke don't fix it" The biggest thing for me is a lot of boards turn into decorations that are never used. When it has a mineral oil finish it just looks terrible after a few month even without use. Osmo being food safe to the point of being rated for children's toys as well as indefinitely looking good when used as decoration or minimal upkeep as compared to a mineral oil finish when used as an active cutting board makes it a no brainer. It is just plain superior. I'll gladly pay more for a product that requires less upkeep while getting a similar or better result. We are currently working on a longer video comparing Osmo to Rubio and Odies while torture testing them to see which holds up best. (Honestly I'm thinking Rubio but we will see.)

It is literally on the can food safe and rated for children's toys per EU standards.

It goes a long way. I was hesitant as well. Bought a wee can for 27 cad. I covered about 20 sq foot tops and around 13 axe handles. Well worth the coin for this product.

It goes a long way, I bought the 750ml can and it is much more than I will ever use. An amazing product and safe as are most finishes as the volatiles evaporate leaving only wax.
