Thanks for checking out our wood! We won't tell.
The occasional rub is essential to the health of your wood and to keep it functioning as intended. Rapid Rub is an easy to apply blend with a pomade / paste consistency that conditions, while building a protective layer atop the wood pieces surface. Based on the protective power of all-natural Beeswax, and a nourishing blend of Food-Grade Mineral Oil and Coconut Oil.
Jack Wax is our house-made line of wood conditioners designed for cutting boards, charcuterie boards, and wooden kitchen items. We offer three products: Timber Tonic (liquid oil for deep conditioning), Rapid Rub (soft wax for regular maintenance), and Stiff Shine (hard wax for a polished finish).
Absolutely. All Jack Wax products are made with carefully sourced food-grade ingredients including beeswax from New England suppliers, food-grade mineral oil, all-natural coconut (MCT) oil, and carnauba wax. Your board stays safe for food prep.
For regular maintenance on a board in good shape, use Rapid Rub—it's our soft wax blend with higher oil content for quick touch-ups. If your board is dry, worn, or brand new, start with Timber Tonic to deeply hydrate the wood, then follow with Stiff Shine for a polished, protective finish.
We recommend applying Rapid Rub about once a month, or after roughly a dozen wash cycles—whenever your board starts looking dry or the finish feels less smooth. Boards that see heavy use may need more frequent care.
For Rapid Rub and Stiff Shine, rub a small amount onto your clean, dry board using a cloth or your hands. Buff in circular motions until you get a nice sheen. For Timber Tonic, apply a generous coat and let it soak in overnight, then wipe off any excess and follow with wax.
Yes! Jack Wax works great on wooden bowls, utensils, butcher blocks, and other kitchen woodenware. If it's wood and it touches food, Jack Wax will keep it happy.
Wipe off crumbs, rinse with water, apply a gentle soap solution, scrub lightly, rinse thoroughly, and dry with a clean towel. Never put your board in the dishwasher—it's the fastest way to destroy it.
If your board doesn't have feet, store it standing on edge so both faces get air circulation—this keeps it flat and stable. Boards with feet can be stored flat. Avoid wet countertops or anywhere moisture can sit against the wood.
Keep your boards beautiful with regular Jack Wax care.
