Named for the Papas Who Taught Us to Take Care of Things

Project Papa is a small American brand built on a simple idea: good wood, cared for well, should last for generations.

Our Story

Every family has a papa. The one with the workshop out back, the one who could fix anything, the one whose cutting board is still on the counter forty years later because he actually took care of it. Project Papa exists to keep that way of doing things alive.

We make small-batch wood care products the old-fashioned way: real beeswax, food grade mineral oil, carnauba wax, and orange oil. No shortcuts, no filler, and everything made in the USA.

What We Believe

Buy it once, care for it forever. A well-kept cutting board or butcher block should never need replacing. Our products exist so the things you love stay in your kitchen, not in a landfill.

If it touches food, it has to be food safe. Our conditioners and oils are formulated with food grade ingredients from the start, so you never have to think twice about what is on your board.

Made here, by hand where it counts. From our formulas to our solid walnut trays, sanded smooth and hand finished with linseed oil and beeswax, everything we sell is made in America.

What We Make

Our lineup covers the full life of your wood: pure USP food grade mineral oil to feed it, beeswax conditioner to seal and protect it, orange oil polish to bring furniture back to life, and handcrafted walnut goods built to be cared for with all three.
