Step by Step guide

Oiling instructions for interior products

  1. To ensure optimal absorption, oil the wood when it is completely dry.
  2. Apply plenty of oil in cirkular motions on all sides and edges.
  3. Let the oil soak in for 24 hours (preferably in an airtight bag). Any excess oil can then be wiped off with a dry cloth.
  4. Leave the oil to dry. This gives the wood time to absorb all the oil before washing it again after use.

We recommend using HORN’s own countertop oil, which is food approved. A natural cooking oil such as corn and grape seed oil can also be used.
