Watco Butcher Block Oil + Stain | Safe for Food Contact | Durable Protection | Hazelnut | Pint

Enhance and protect your wooden kitchenware with Watco Butcher Block Oil + Stain

Watco Butcher Block Oil + Stain blends color and protection in a single, ready‑to‑use formula. Designed for butcher blocks, cutting boards, salad bowls, and interior wood surfaces, it delivers a warm Hazelnut finish that deepens grain while creating a resilient surface you can rely on during everyday tasks.

The formula is nontoxic and FDA compliant, safe for food contact once the wood surface is fully dry per 21 CFR 175.300, giving you confidence when preparing or serving. Rather than simply coating wood, it weaves color into the grain and builds a protective layer that lasts longer than traditional butcher block oils.

• Durable protection that stays looking good with less maintenance

Real-life uses and expectations

Imagine a well-used cutting board that returns to life with a single application. The Hazelnut tone adds warmth to the wood, while the protective layer helps keep the surface smoother and more resistant to moisture and stains. It’s equally suited to wooden bowls and utensils, giving a cohesive look across kitchenware.

While providing color and protection, the product is designed for raw wood and is not dishwasher safe. This means you’ll want to follow care steps that keep the finish looking its best, such as wiping away spills promptly and avoiding soaking the surface.

How to use for best results

• Shake well before use and test on a scrap area to preview color
• Apply with a clean cloth in a single, even coat
• Wipe off any excess to avoid sticky surfaces
• Let dry to touch in about 2 hours; wait 6 hours before recoating
• Allow 72 hours to fully cure before heavy use or washing

Care and maintenance

Regular light cleaning and periodic reapplication after heavy wear can refresh color and protection. Store the product in a cool, dry place and keep the container closed to preserve the formula for future use.
