If you have very deep scratches/damage and don't want to sand the entire board down to such a deep level, one tip is to use a food-safe wood glue before the first sand. Fill the deep scratches with wood glue and start sanding when it is still wet. The sawdust from sanding then bonds to the glue and fills the deep scratches.
I like to make boards a little thick to allow for refinishing over the years. I like to hand plane EG boards before using RO sander (so I don’t get so much wasted, oil clogged, sand paper). It does feel good to see a board return to “as new” status.
Thank you for showing me this. My son made me a board 20 years ago in high school and it fell apart and I have glued it back together and saved it and I needed the last step. I think he will be happy to see it again!
Very clear and thorough, also good tips. Just purchased a lovely piece of oak with plenty of character. I’m going to use this procedure. I already know it will look great. Thanks for the video.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Do you rinse off the shavings before applying tung oil? Or just wipe off with a cloth? Woulsnt it be better to rinse off then let dry for 24 hours before applying tung oil, so the oil can penetrate the tiny holes the wooddust was in?
Your board looks great but man that’s a lot of work. I think I’m just gonna sand it by hand working my way through the grits, washing in between grits and put some oil on it. Thanks for the info though you’re bored looks great.

I bought a 5.00 cheap yoga mat at 5 Below and it worked better than the drawer liner. Just food for thought. Great Video!
Yeah, so that was really straightforward. Thanks for taking the time and effort to make the video, and yeah, the board looks great.
Glad it helped!

That was awesome and simple. I've restored a simply made butcher block on wheels using this tutorial - and I love it!!!

Nice job, thanks for sharing your process...
Thanks Chris, . . .. very useful
Thank you!
Have you tried TWW’s new recommendation to not flood coat it? Curious if you have and prefer it to what you do here.
What was your total time on resurfacing your cutting board?
thats non skid area rug padding fyi. its also used by people as drawer liner, but its actual purpose is as non skid rug padding *the more you know*
I am worried that after sandpapering the surface wont be flat. Any suggestions?
Spirit level

NICE

How long after wiping off the tung oil can you start using it?
Pure tung oil is food safe so you can use it straight away.
I use mineral oil on board, and then after that, I use a paste that is mineral oil and beeswax.
