Just getting some thoughts out there from some of you out there. I have some smaller end grain bamboo boards that I love and they hold up well. As a gift, a friend made a larger edge grained maple/walnut board for me. I would obviously rather have an end grain board but I figured I would try to make this one work. Especially since it was a gift. So, I used some Howards board conditioner on it. I think I probably did 4-5 coats over a couple of days on it. I warmed the conditioner and rubbed it into the board and let it soak for a while before wiping it down again between coats. I believe Howards is a mixture of mineral oil and bees wax. I still feel like the board is not sealed well. I still get a good bit of grain lift after a session of cutting vegetables. What are some of the other methods that you all are using to seal your boards? Thx
