Clapham's edible Beeswax /Carnauba/Mineral oil finish is suitable for all things wooden in the kitchen. The finish protects the wood and gives it a soft lustrous shine. It is suitable for salad bowls, butcher blocks, cutting boards, wooden spoons, kitchen counter tops- both wood and stone, and also children's wooden toys and cribs. Apply the finish thinly with your hand, cloth or paper towel. It may take some time to dry depending on the temperature and humidity of your home or workshop, but the piece can be used immediately. When dry, buff to a light shine and ENJOY. Re-apply when the piece looks dry.
