Cutting Board
I am going to turn a chopping/cutting board from a piece of Oregan and would like to know what is the best food friendly finish to use.
I thought of using vegetable oil but have been told this is not suitable. What do the gurus think.
All advice will be gratefully accepted.
Thanks
Macca

Mineral oil.
There is a product at Bunnies (and other places) called "Wood Wipe" designed for cutting boards and is non-toxic etc. never used it, but might be worth looking for. Not sure if its a mineral oil or not? Someone else might be able to answer that.How much wood could the woodchuck chuck if the woodchuck could chuck wood?

Wood Wipe - or some use cooking oil (non-animal) and lie the board in it for a while and then turn it over

Tung oil?? - NOT ON CHOPPING BOARD!!
The best finish by far for a chopping board is no finish at all. I wouldn't be ysing oregan either. Pine would be much better as oregan is much too soft in the soft bits.KEEP A LID ON THE GARBAGE... Report spam, scams, and inappropriate posts, PMs and Blogs.

I used Tung oil on a Jarrah chopping board, raw tung oil from sceneys, and left it in the sun for a couple of hours to go off properly. It has worked really well and remains in good nick a year later. The pure, raw tung oil, contains no metal salts or other catalysts and is non toxic.

Thanks again............and oh yes the soft bits. I had a go yesterday and tried to turn a concave in one side to use a herb cutting knife (don't know the name). Not too bad untill I started to (power) sand it and the soft bits went hollow. I think I may have been a little heavy handed.
Back to the gouge and take it easy.
