[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 3294608, member: 3099"] I use tung from Real Milk Paint Co. Reason being is that years ago I bought one of those unfinished boards at Wal Mart. I sanded it and went to town with the tung oil. I've lightly sanded and reapplied a coat once in all that time and it still looks good and beads water. It gets used just about daily. Unlike boiled linseed oil, tung oil actually does protect the wood and doesn't darken over time. And BLO has metallic chemical dryers in it so it's a no-go for food contact anyway. It's all the rage today to use food grade mineral oil on cutting boards. I guess I'm weird, because I don't think a totally non-hardening oil on a cutting board is a good idea. General Finishes has a cutting board finish and it dries much faster. I may try it sometime as their stuff is really good. [/QUOTE]
