[Woodworkers] Cutting Board Oil

[John McCaskill]

>From my research: here’s one rule to live by: do not use cooking oils to
oil your cutting board. Canola oil, vegetable oil, coconut oil, olive oil,
and so on will go rancid and leave an awful smell on your butcher block.
Stick to food-grade mineral oil, natural wood oil, cutting board cream,
liquid paraffin, or beeswax.

They told me I was gullible and I believed them.
