How to Jack

Wood care in three easy steps.

No chemistry degree required. Just you, Jack, and your wood.

01 — Oil

Feed the wood

Evenly apply Timber Tonic with a cloth, then wipe off the excess. Let it set at least an hour — or leave it overnight for deeper absorption. The oil penetrates deep to rehydrate and nourish from within.

Timber Tonic
02 — Wax

Seal the surface

Once the oil has dried, apply a thin layer of Stiff Shine with a cloth using circular motions. Let it set for 10 minutes, then buff to a smooth finish. The beeswax seals in the oil and adds a protective sheen.

Stiff Shine
03 — Maintain

Keep the glow

After the initial treatment, maintain your board with Rapid Rub every few weeks. Just rub it on, let it sit for a minute, and buff. Quick, easy, and your board stays happy.

Everything you need to know about keeping your wood in top shape.

About Jack Wax
What is Jack Wax? +
Jack Wax is our proprietary line of wood care products, formulated in our Cape Cod shop. It’s a blend of all-natural beeswax from the USA, food-grade mineral oil, and MCT coconut oil — plus carnauba wax in Stiff Shine — designed to hydrate, protect, and beautify wooden kitchen items.
Is Jack Wax food-safe? +
Absolutely. All Jack Wax products are made with food-grade ingredients that are completely safe for cutting boards, serving boards, salad bowls, and wooden utensils. No toxins, no harmful chemicals.
Which Jack Wax product should I use? +
For regular maintenance on a board that’s in good shape, use Rapid Rub — it’s a one-step blend. For new boards or boards that need restoration, use the two-step process: Timber Tonic (oil) first, then Stiff Shine (wax). The Jack Pack includes both.
Application & Care
How often should I apply Jack Wax? +
For daily-use cutting boards, apply Rapid Rub every 2–4 weeks or whenever the wood looks dry or dull. The full oil + wax treatment (Timber Tonic + Stiff Shine) is recommended seasonally, or when the board needs deeper restoration.
How do I apply Jack Wax? +
For Rapid Rub: scoop a small amount, rub it across the surface, let it sit for a minute, then buff with a clean cloth. For the two-step: evenly apply Timber Tonic, wipe off the excess, then let it set at least an hour — up to overnight. Once dry, apply Stiff Shine in circular motions, wait 10 minutes, then buff to a shine.
Can I use Jack Wax on other wood items? +
Yes! Jack Wax is designed for any kitchen wood — cutting boards, charcuterie boards, serving boards, salad bowls, wooden spoons, and utensils. If it’s wood and it touches food, Jack’s got you covered.
