Default Butcher block countertop ideas.

From: "Ron"

Did some more research (Googling..) and found a product called 'Salad Bowl
Finish'
from General Finishes. Non-toxic (when dry) and approved for food contact.


Actually, all drying finishes are safe for food contact when dry. If you plan
to do any cutting on your countertop, then a film finish like the "Salad Bowl
Finish" will get damaged and be a lot of work to repair. Mineral oil or a
mineral oil and beeswax mixture would be a better choice, since you can wipe
more on when needed. I also like to use unprocessed walnut oil on wooden
eating implements such as bowls and spoons. If you always use a cutting board,
the Salad Bowl Finish is ok.
