Watco Butcher Block Oil & Finish is a food-safe penetrating oil formulated specifically for wood cutting boards, butcher blocks, salad bowls, and countertops that contact food. It penetrates into the wood rather than forming a surface film, maintaining the natural feel and appearance of the wood while providing moisture resistance. Watco is trusted by professional woodworkers and cabinetmakers. Available at Windsor Plywood locations.

Pro Tips
- Apply liberally to all surfaces including the bottom and end grain. End grain absorbs the most moisture -- it needs the most protection.
- Allow 24 hours between coats. Apply 3-4 initial coats for new or freshly sanded surfaces, then reapply every 4-6 weeks for cutting surfaces in regular use.
- Pair with Hevea or Malaysian Oak butcher block countertops available at Windsor Plywood for a complete food-safe countertop solution.
