Hi. I have not had it yellow on any wood I have used. Always test a spot or two before applying on entire surface. I like this as it works well on so many woods and holds up so well. Good luck with your project. Last thought, a little goes a long way. Old Nick

We use it on center islands made of African iroko. The planks come in different colors from yellow to red to a very dark brown. When the Good Stuff is applied it just makes all of the colors more alive. It does not turn yellow over time as some finishes (varnish) can.

This is about as clear as varnishes/urethanes get. It will slightly yellow the wood whenyou apply it, but not very mutch at all, and it will NOT get more yellow over time like most polyurethanes do. I don't like the yellowed look, and very happy with this product. I have used it on both maple and walnut with good results.

I'd say no it will not yellow. This product was the same one used on our table many years ago and we just needed to freshen it up. No yellow then, none now.

I don't really know how to answer this question, except that the sealer was thin, so it went a long way. It would depend on how absorbent your wood is though. The rough spots on the wood would soak it right up, where the smooth, sanded parts it would go a lot further on. I did 5 4'X8'X2' (inside and out) garden beds with 1.5 bottles of Soy Seal. I think they are Cedar. It's held up great so far, but it's only been one year since application.

I have a butcher block on my kitchen island and don't use it for cutting directly on it and the cabinet maker told me that he used Good Stuff on it for the sealer and that's what I should use. Couldn't find it anywhere; but Amazon.com -- I was told to use very fine steel wool on it to get back to bare wood, wipe it down with a tack cloth and then use the Good stuff. Good luck!

It is not. I recently had butcher block countertops installed in my kitchen. They were covered with Durakryl 102 as well. The manufacture recommended Good Stuff to use for maintenance. I had really good luck with this product on areas that were sanded during installation. Follow the instructions and don't let the product sit too long or it will leave swirls. I found that out the hard way.

In my opinion Yes it would be. Just apply 2 or maybe 3 coats, keep your coats very thin, in other words don't leave thick puddles of sealer on the wood. What will happen if you do leave thick coats is that it won't dry properly and will remain very sticky for several days.

It's bare wood, but oil treated. So you would need to pick an appropriate stain. The top is a butcher block so I wouldn't recommend staining that. You may want to re-oil it occasionally though. I saw some sites with staining suggestions/how tos for this peice and it's oil treatment. you should be able to get some good results on google.

different mix off hardwoods. not a pure maple block. but trust me, this awsome cutting board will be the one you hand down to your children with proper care. avoid excess water when cleaning, and use (the cheapest, at the hardware store), food grade mineral oil on both top and bottom monthly, dependiing on use. this block is the top of the line for it's price. just dont go for the high priced oils that are out there, food grade mineral oil is all you need, and for the first 3 times, be heavy with the oil, this is a macho block!

It is butcher block. My husband and I love this piece. It looks great and fits perfectly in our kitchen. I do, however, use a rubberwood cutting board on top.as it was a gift many years ago and I can't let it go. You'll not need one with this beautiful island. We gave several coats of lemon oil to the entire unit before using it. Dear husband thought it necessary and it did add to the beauty of the wood. I recommend you read up on care and cleaning of cutting boards. The internet is a good resource. Hope this helps you.

I think it is the same product, as Michigan Maple Block Co is on the lower right hand side of the label. I have used this on a butcher block countertop that was sanded down to bare wood, and it's held up really well for the past 4 months. Hope this helps!

The Butcher Block Conditioner includes beeswax, which will be more water repellent than just the oil. Treating the knive handle or cutting board (esp. a butcher block style board) with multiple applications will allow the beeswax to penetrate deeply into the wood. Once done, a quick wipedown with oil is all that is needed to keep the board in good condition.Short answer: use Conditioner on an newly made handle/board or a cutting board that is not acting water repellent, and oil as a touchup after washing.

They sell a sealer sort under vendor gronomics and you'll see it. Not sure about stain just remember your growing your food in it so be cognizant of what chemicals you use.

Just to avoid cross contamination, I never use my butcher block or any of my wood boards for meat products. I'll use tempered glass for that.

The wood is all natural and we recommend you to seal it with Semco Wood sealer. I would recommend strongly to go for Semco Wood Sealer In Honey Tone. It is way better than the oil as oil sometimes creates mold if the wood remains wet for a long time in some areas.Thanks

No, I don't think this would be considered the clear version. This was my first order of ANCHORSEAL, so I have nothing to compare it with. It was not clear , more like cream. But after it dries on the wood, the wood grain shows through. I have used it and I like the results.

Grout color and the type of sealer will all depend on what kind of a look you are trying to achieve. However, usually, bright white (or arctic white) colored epoxy grout usually gives excellent results. And as far as the sealer, you can go with a high-end, water-based penetrating sealer (to prevent possible material discolorations and shade changes due to the chemical attributes of enhancing sealers that you might otherwise consider using on other types of stone such as travertine). For more information, please reach Oracle Tile & Stone @ 1-877-445-5599. Thank you.

I use Anchorseal 2 on my logs before I put them on the sawmill. Once the lumber is dry and cut into boards, I knock the sealed ends off. I have never had a problem with staining afterwards. I do not stain over top of the sealer. Probably not the answer you wanted but felt it may be helpful to others.

I used Butcher Block on Koa wood and an unknown African wood. Both turned out beautifully. I followed the directions, so after applying I waited a bit then used a soft cloth (cotton t-shirt type) to rub off excess. There was no residue or sticky/oily finish. I will continue to use Butcher Block and try on other woods as well. I hope this helps.
