I've used both and here's my take:The oil is much better for working surfaces (butcher blocks, cutting boards, etc). The conditioner is probably better for long-term wood preservation.I have a large butcher block island (Ikea) and sealed it with both the OIL and CONDITIONER. The OIL was far better, both in absorption and protection. The wood felt good and didn't stain. The CONDITIONER left a residue and the wood stained easily (bowls, food, etc). With the conditioner I re-surfaced (sanded) my butcher block every 6 months. With the OIL I just reapply it every 6 month.

Oiling the wood does make water bead up a bit, but I would not say "waterproof." The butcher block surface will be protected from water damage if a wet glass is put on it, but not if water is left for a long period of time.

Yes, I have used it for many years on my formica style counter tops. Works very well.

Brian I use it on maple and teak butcher block and it works really good, I'd recommend cleaning the surface with a scotch-brite pad before applying so you're not sealing in crime and other sealants. Hope this helps

My guess is that you would use about three quarters of one tube during the initial application. I use this product on a butcher block top kitchen island about once a month to maintain a moisture/stain barrier on the natural wood. The wood absorbs less board cream after the initial application so you probably wouldn't use that much ever time you apply it.

If the wood is all natural wood clean it gently with light steel wool or Murphy's Soap, then apply a thin layer of bees wax. Let the wax set up for a while, then polish gently with a clean clothe. Do this at least four times. If the wood has been finished and is chipped and worn, you can still wax .... but you may have to sand and refinish for best appearance.

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.

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.

Yes it will, but soap and water will do the same job. I made butcher block counter tops for my kitchen and finished them with salad bowl finish. They look great and the finish wears well.

I think it should. Lightly sand the block before applying the oil to help it absorb well. It's a very nice scent.

This product is good for your application - wait at least 4 days after the last application before putting bowls into service - this will allow all the solvents to evaporate off. Another option is the Howard butcher block conditioner which does not hold up as well and is intended for use on wooden butcher blocks - there are no solvents in this product with the majority of the carrier being bees wax - its not as water resistant but it is all natural. This product is also avilable on Amazon.

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!

As honed granite isn't meant to be super glossy/shiny like polished granite, this should work just fine for you. It has a nice smell, removes finger prints, and makes the counters look clean.

I seriously doubt it. This is an abrasive that removes cooking buildup. It doesn't restore coating.

I use it on our soapstone counters and it's great. More of a matte finish than oil and it lasts a lot longer. We apply about once a month and let it gradually fade. Definitely requires a little more effort to work into the stone, but worth it.

You could use any 'food safe' mineral oil. For this special board I'm using 'Butcher Block Conditioner' by Howard Products Inc. It has food grade mineral oil & natural waxes.
