Question 1

Should i use this and a conditioner or am i okay just using conditioner?

Accepted Answer

Use Cutting Board Oil and Butcher Block Conditioner whenever the wood looks or feels dry by applying one coat of either product. On new or raw wood surfaces, like cutting boards and butcher blocks, make sure to "season" them first with Cutting Board Oil. To properly "season" new wood surfaces, apply at least 2 coats and let each coat soak in for at least an hour. For surfaces thicker than 1-inch apply 3-4 coats. Additional coats help ensure that the oil fully soaks into the wood. After Cutting Board Oil, maintain wood with Howard Butcher Block Conditioner by applying 1 coat and let it stand for at least 20 minutes. For countertops, let the conditioner soak overnight and in the morning, wipe away excess. The conditioner helps protect the wood by keeping the mineral oil in and the moisture out. Butcher blocks can be regularly oiled with Cutting Board Oil or Butcher Block Conditioner to keep them seasoned and ready for use. These products can be used together for best results but can be used alone as well.

Question 2

Does the product need to cure or dry for some time before use?

Accepted Answer

You should allow it to soak in then wipe off the excess.  If the wood is virgin or very dry, then multiple application may be needed until it can't take anymore in.  If you are using the item frequently reapplication should be done to maintain the moisture and beauty of the wood. - this is only to be used on wood items that you would use in your kitchen fro food processing.
