- Two of my good friends recently got married and I offered to make them an end grain butcher block cutting board as a wedding present / house warming gift. They chose a striped design made from Maple and Padauk.
The board is soaked in a mineral oil bath and then finished with a beeswax and mineral oil paste I make myself. I was lucky to source the beeswax from a local apiary in my town.

Maravilhoso!!
Thanks!
my padauk bleeds a lot (making the other wood pinkish), how did you workaround that?
Having the same problem, Somebody suggested to use mineral spirits, slowed it down but still bleeds, ruined 3 cutting boards can not get it to stop tried many things.
I tried the mineral spirits, but still a problem, never using padauk again.
Ive found cleaning the board thoroughly with a tack cloth before finishing helps a lot. Sorry I didn't show it in the video.
I use an air wand and blow out the sanding pad pretty often then blow closely into the grain to keep the red from bleeding into other wood. Using a tack cloth before applying finishes is a must. Until the red residue is no longer showing on the cloth. This will prevent it from being horrible....I had quite a few of my board come out amazing doing this
Two bleeding problems here. Padauk bled into the Maple. Not a huge issue. A bigger concern is it bleeds onto try towels when wiping.
I’m on my third coat of Howard’s butcher block conditioner. Assume this is fine dust that will eventually go away?
Any insight is appreciated.
Good job 😀 what thickness of the blocks? what dimension of the board. Please answer
Thanks! I don't have the board anymore to measure but each block was around 4cm thick, 7.5cm wide and about 30cm long. So the entire board was 45x30x4 approx.
In inches that is 18x12x1.5
Hope that helps!
