Ed Wohl Wood Cutting BoardsEd's Oil Wood Conditioner with Walnut Oil and Beeswax, Pizza Paddle Style Cutting Boards, Round bird's eye maple cutting boards, Rectangular Bird's Eye Maple Cutting Board Ed Wohl uses bird's-eye maple for all his wood cutting boards- serving boards you see here. Birds eye maple shows a pattern of hundreds of small oval figures resembling bird's eyes. Only one in perhaps 500 hardwood maple trees will exhibit this pattern. Experts are uncertain why birdseyes occurs. Look closely at an Ed Wohl wood cutting board and you will see something special. Ed painstakingly aligns the patterns in the birdseye so they closely match. This gives each board a distinctive appearance
Care for Wood Cutting Boards
First, wash your wood cutting boards with soap and water. We recommend all natural real soaps like Sunflower or Dr. Bronner's. To be extra effective, use a scrub brush to get into any nooks or crannies. Afterwashing, let your cutting board air dry. Just be sure water does not pool on it.
Next, sanitize your wood cutting board: Did you know, studies have shown that a hardwood cutting board is more sanitary that those polyethylene, boards? It turns out, bacteria prefers to live in artificial plastic scratches and cracks. So, your old wood cutting board is actually more sanitary than the modern "improvement".
Here are a few home recipes for sanitizing solutions:
| Oil your Wood Cutting Boards and UtensilsEd says "Shake the bottle thoroughly to distribute the beeswax, then apply liberally. rub the oil in with a soft cloth in the direction of the grain."
Many woodworkers recommend oiling cutting boards with clean bare hands. The warmth and friction from your fingers helps the oil penetrate deeper.
After a few hours of drying, wipe off any oil not absorbed. Then do it again.
Two coats is normally enough to last months. If you find your cutting board wants more oil sooner than this, try three or four coats.
