It seems a lot of people are making chopping boards out of solid timber. There’s nothing more attractive than a really nice chopping board, rather than pulling out one of those bits of plastic. We’ve seen chopping boards made like guitars, chopping boards made like cartoon characters and a whole load of other things as well.
It’s amazing how imaginative you can become when you have got some nice timber to work with.
If you use the wrong sort of oil on your chopping board it can go very dark and black. And also you have the question of whether or not the product that you are using is food safe. This brings up all sorts of potential issues when things go wrong – if you use the wrong product. You spend a lot of time working on your chopping board and getting it to look just right so why miss the final step and use the wrong product for finishing it? After all we want it to look its best. And we want it to stay looking good.
The solution is Osmo chopping board oil. A number of people use this oil to achieve the finish that they are looking for on chopping boards. It works with all types of timber. It is food safe. And it will really enhance the colour of the timber that you are coating. What’s more because it’s a natural blend of oils and waxes that penetrate the timber you will not have a plastic looking chopping board, you will have that classic, oiled look. This really is the most desirable way to finish a chopping board.
One feature that we really like about the chopping board oil is the fact that it really brings out the colour and the grain of the timber. If you think the timber looks impressive before you apply the oil you are in for a surprise when the oil is applied. It’s just awesome and really brings out the depth and detail in the timber.
Osmo chopping board oil is available from VCS in Osborne Park. It is very simple to use. If you can apply a product using a rag and rub it into the face of timber then that’s just about as complicated as it gets.
