    This is a fam­i­ly recipe hand­ed down from my great grand­moth­er, known as Memaw.

I love the idea of keep­ing these around to pass down so keep­ing them nice and oiled is important. I use the same min­er­al oil/natural wax on all my kitchen woods. It’s nice and creamy with­out leav­ing a greasy feel to the touch. This will help them last longer and per­form bet­ter in the long run. Flax seed oil and olive oil will…
