I wanted to find a good oil, cheap that can be used on bowls and other
food things. I saw walnut oil in a video. Have you tried coconut oil?
The things that are important are a stable oil that doesn't go rancid.
Doesn't smell bad, neutral's ok.

Have you tried cooking oils? Canola, grape seed, sunflower seed, etc.
It's okay if the oil has to be re-applied now and again.

Mineral oil's readily available and I see people using that but it
can get slightly gummy/sticky.

If you've tried an oil and like it that would be good to know about.

One cup of mineral oil and 3 oz by weight of beeswax. Heat until the
beeswax melts. Safest way is a 250 oven for 30 minutes.

Which is pretty much like the products from Clapham:
