Watco 359024 Butcher Block Oil + Stain, 16 oz, Hazelnut

I used this on my 25inchx9ft butcher block. 2 coats on the back, 3 on the front and it’s nearly completely black. Slight wood grain showing through and it’s perfect. I applied in thin even coats and followed instruction for wait times, sanding, etc. It looks great. It was easy to apply and wasn’t sticky. I noticed if it was drying to fast like under my fan or I layered it then it would stick so don’t try to recoat what was already done. Move in straight lines with the grain. Low odor. Haven’t put it to the test yet since I just finished the counter. Will see how well it works with daily wear.

I went through several products before I tried the Watco Butcher Block Oil Plus Stain in Hazelnut, which I used to stain, finish, and provide a protective layer for a giant butcher block I bought that was not the ideal shade. The result - a beautiful, glossy finish that has resisted water and food stains from several charcuterie and butter board spreads. Couple of things to note: The stain went on very easily with an old T-short used as the rag and dried quickly between coats (less than 24 hours), which made the process relatively easy. The color is rich and vibrant, but it did take me four coats to achieve the desired color, depth, and consistent evenness. However, my board came already stained, so that could be why it took that many coats. While the end result is great, be prepared for multiple applications if you're aiming for a deeper shade. The color pay-off ended being amazing, but it does require a bit more effort.

Went on really easy and exposed the woodgrain beautifully on my butcherblock counter.

Work fast and apply thick. I think. I don't know, my project turned out great.... Wife here.... My husband decided to build a bar in our house, like right in the front room. It has been an absolutely insane project. They tore down a wall, put up a fat header and put a butcher block counter top in like a bunch of crazy people. I stained the bar top and holy crap I'm exhausted. But check out the pics cause I'd say it turned out absolutely gorgeous 😍😍😍 Yes I had to open the windows because it smelled really strong for hours. It did not dry quickly, I gave it a full day between coats for a good cure.

Worked great! Got it on time while I was at work! So I didn't have to go to a store to get it! Thank you Amazon!

Easy to apply to my new butcher block counters. I love the color I bought (hazelnut). I installed butcher block on my island and a new coffee station. It was put on light wood.

I purchased kitchen cabinets in a soft cream color for my dining room nook from a big box store. Since I have a black, round dining set, I thought a dark countertop would look good, & make a nice contrast. So, I went back to that big box store and purchased a piece of butcher block, & ordered this food-grade stain from Amazon. I applied 7 or 8 coats (butcher block is thirsty), and it looks great. The dry bar holds all of my pup's blankets, sheets, towels, drool rags, medicines, snacks and binder of paperwork from his vets.

Beautiful finished, easy to apply, no strong smell

Demasiado pegajoso, por lo tanto, no deja un acabado uniforme. Si costara 300, lo entendería, pero no por mas de 1000.
