Natural Wood Butter

Nourishing wood butter, using only 4 natural ingredients. Perfect for keeping your wooden bowls, plates, chopping boards and utensils protected and looking their best.

Simply apply a small amount with a cloth, leave to soak in, then buff off any excess. Use whenever your wood looks dull or too dry. With regular use, your pieces will develop a deep, lasting patina.

I use this to finish every one of my pieces.

Ingredients:

1. (Cumbrian) Beeswax - sourced from apiaries only a few miles from my workshop.
2. Fractionated coconut oil - most natural oils will go rancid over time; using a fractionated oil helps to avoid this. Alternative products almost all use mineral oil, which is inert but is a petrochemical and a byproduct of the petrochemical industry, and thus a non-renewable resource.
3. Pure gum turpentine - this is the natural essential oil derived from pine resin.
4. Cedarwood essential oil - aromatic and preservative.
