Board oil
Oil a board when water stops beading. The rest of the note is how we do that in the studio.
Food-safe oil, thin, both faces and the edge. Stand it to dry. A thick coat is sticky and wrong. A board in a full sink swells and cracks later. Wipe it. Wash it quickly if you must. Dry it at once.
A dry board takes a mark from anything wet.

Oil a board when water stops beading.
Do not soak it.
A board in a full sink swells and cracks later. Wipe it. Wash it quickly if you must. Dry it at once.
Board oil is a note from the studio, not a rule for every house. The pieces in this edit were finished with this habit in mind.
If a piece you have does not match the note, send a question with the name of the piece. The reply is more useful than a general rule.
An inquiry is the way to ask. Nothing on this page is a charge.
Keep the habit small enough that it happens. That is the care these pieces were made for.
