In order to maintain my Curled Cherry baffles made by Randy, once a year I do the following: first thoroughly clean all dust off the baffles with a clean rag. Next:apply a light coat of mineral oil to the wood using a clean cotton cloth and let dry and soak into the wood for 36 hours. Finally apply a good quality cutting board butter (beeswax & mineral oil mixture) and let dry for 24 hours. Then buff gently with a microfiber cloth.

This not only keep the baffles looking great but more importantly maktains the the wood from cracking and splitting over time.
