I assume you mean to spread the paste on the board. I use a clean cotton cloth, which is usually just old cut up shirts. Hi Paul. I assume you mean to spread the paste on the board.

I recommend finding local sources of organic beeswax. You can check LocalHarvest.org for that sort of thing. But if you can't find anything local, they have plenty of good mail order sources.

I made my first batch of past and it turned out great! Do you recommended a place to buy the best pure beeswax? Maybe organic? Thanks for the really fast reply.

Food-safe finishes such as mineral oil or beeswax will not technically make the wood waterproof, just water resistant. If your cutting board or butcher block is brand new untreated wood, you might want to put down a coating of mineral oil first, then maintain with the beeswax paste. Hi Richard.

You mentioned that it will repel water but not make the board waterproof. Should the board be treated with mineral oil first then the paste/oil mixture?

I both enjoyed and appreciate your blog on the subject of how to make your own beeswax mineral blend for cutting boards and wood items. I have a beekeeper right down the road from me and can obtain beeswax easily. I definately will feel more confident that the beeswax mineral blend for my cutting boards will be completely natural and sanitary given the recipe now to make it myself.
