Yes. It works great. I hand rubbed it into my new block. Allow it to absorb. It toke about 6 minutes.

Yes and you also need to apply it every 3-4 weeks. There is also a board cream that they recommed you use along with the oil.

Please Do NOT sand your old butcher block table..If you do sand your taking the Patina off of it..Your butcher block is worth allot more if you just oil it..All the knife marks show its age, which is wonderful..Enjoy using your block, just oil it with Howard. It is food grade mineral oil, with E.I Love , Love any of Howard products..I use this oil for all my Old (family handed it down) Dough, and out of round big wood bowls..

It would not be harmful. It is Mineral Oil and Beeswax, all natural ingredients. However, your rolling pin may have a finish on it when you get it. If it is does not have a finish on it, Howards Butcher Block would work. I used it on a butcher block on my island which was just dry wood when I got it. I used it every night for a week then once a week for a month. Now I use it once a month.

You can use it as a butcher block. I mostly use it for rolling out bread or simple things. For serious chopping I prefer to use a separate cutting board because I don't want to stain the wooden surface. I also don't like to mix things like meats and vegetables on the same surface to keep things really safe in the kitchen. I seriously LOVE this cabinet.

I picked up some wood/bamboo conditioning oil and applied a few coats on the board, and I reapply it about once a month for maintenance. It helps to give the butcher block a nice rich color and makes it easier to clean too. I'm guessing that will help with the white haze you're seeing. You can get it at kitchen stores (like bed bath and beyond) or here on amazon. Good luck!

Yes, 36" is correct. We replaced the butcher block top with granite. It looks very high-end.

Hi- No, the top is not butcher block. It is beautiful but is laminated wood. One of the people on Amazon suggested mounting the knife block upside down to store cutting boards in it. We didn't do that but don't use the top for food prep. Hope that helps. I will say we REALLY love the size and extra storage space it provides. It's fairly narrow plus we didn't mount the towel or knife rack which makes it the perfect size for us. Good luck in finding a good unit!Valerie

It works great on my knives, but I'm just a novice chef. Not sure how it would hold up under a butchers use. I like it.

I used this for a butcher block counter top. We don't really "cut" on our butcher block per say, but we do constantly do food prep on it. We use a household kitchen cleaner and it has held up very well for almost a year. I followed the instructions and put several coats on (6 or 7) and allowed proper drying time in between coats. I've also used it since on a kitchen table that I refinished.

Yes, I have cut a few of them for built in fitting. I finish with Watco Butcher block finnish. Food Safe.

I don't know. I use the oil, because that seems more appropriate for butcher block that is used for cooking.

I Googled this product to find out the ingredients. I bought the product as a gift for my brother, so I do not have it at home to read the label for you.. Here is what one website said. "An all natural, antimicrobial formulation of beeswax, food grade mineral oil, and essential oils from lemon and rosemary, Emmet's Elixir is key to protecting your butcher block investment."

The top is not a butcher block, so you need to use a cutting board. The company provides very good service. We had one door that was very much lighter in color than the rest of the cabinet and we contacted the company and they sent another one immediately. Great customer service and the cabinet holds a lot and doors on each side make it easy to access your things.

I went to the local Goodwill store and found a knife butcher block. Works perfectly and I don't have to worry about them chipping.

Emmet's Good Stuff is great. We fabricate butcher block countertops and emmet's is the only thing we use to finish them. It is very strong, food safe and has a beautiful finish. It does the yellow the wood a shade. The only other thing we used to use is food grade mineral oil that you can pick up at any walgreens or CVS, in the laxative isle. It does raise the grain of the wood a bit so make sure you sand the top to at least 200 grit or higher. Anything less will be a rough finish once the mineral oil sets in. The mineral oil also just seals the wood for a little while it will have to be re applied at least yearly. Mineral oil, also wont protect against any scratching. Emmet's Good Stuff is great.

Ya that would look great. We put our butcher block counter right on top of the sink and it works great.
