I got a call from a friend with a restaurant today, asking if I could sand and
refinish his 2 cutting boards..

They're "several" inches thick and used to have "some shiny stuff" on them..lol


I'll look at them Friday night but thought I'd get some opinions here on what to
use for a coating/finish on 'em..

I e-did one in our house in the states using a commercial "cutting board
finish"but can't remember what it was, only that it had an evil lemon smell that
my wife hated.. lol

Any suggestions?

(I'm in Mexico, so if it works, that's fine, no EPA here)

Thanks,

I remember my stint in Coast Guard boot camp a few different lives ago.
We had to have a week of duty in the kitchen (ok, mess halls), and I
was in a station that had a very large butcher block. The end-of-day
routine for it was to simply wash it down (plain water if I remember
correctly), and then cover it with about 1/4 to 1/2 inch of salt. If a
butcher block can take the abuse of hundreds of Coast Guard recruits
preparing tens of thousands of meals, it should handle a restaurant too.
