FAQ
FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers about our finishes, magnetic knife holders, maintenance, shipping and warranty.
🪵 WoodNutt Signature Finish
Is the WoodNutt finish safe for cutting boards and utensils?
Yes. All ingredients are 100% natural, food-grade ( food-safe ) and safe for surfaces in contact with food.
Can I apply it to wood that is already varnished?
Ideally, no. WoodNutt finish is designed to nourish raw or oiled wood. On varnished/lacquered wood, adhesion is poor and the product does not penetrate the wood fibers.
Drying time
Approximately 12 to 24 hours depending on the quantity. Wipe off any excess with a soft cloth for a satin and even finish.
Product shelf life
Use within 24 months of opening. Keep the jar closed, away from sunlight and heat.
Compatible with all types of wood?
Yes: walnut, oak, ash, cherry, maple, etc. The finish nourishes and protects solid woods.

Two options:
• No drilling required : 3M VHB tape supplied (clean and smooth surface).
