Introduction

Repairing the scratches on a wooden cutting board is a repair most people can do at home. This step-by-step guide will show how to restore a scratched wooden cutting board and make it look newer. The steps in this guide will include cleaning, sanding, and adding oil to the board. Please be careful and stay alert when using sandpaper. Sandpaper is rough on the surface and can lead to skin damage. Most people have experience using sandpaper so there shouldn't be any serious injuries.
