Thank you for your purchase. Your board has been treated with tung oil and finished with board conditioner. There could be a small amount of residual conditioner that can simply be wiped off with a dry cloth. Because this is a newly created board, we are including 2 buffing pads to treat the board down the road. Use the black pad to buff the board first, then use the included mineral oil with the white pads to treat the board. You can purchase any food grade mineral oil to continue treating the board when you run out of the provided sample.
