I wanted to find a good oil, cheap that can be used on bowls and other

Linseed oil keeps popping up on all the sites for "food safe wood
finishing."


Note, however, that 'boiled linseed oil' is NOT considered food safe; the
'boiled' variant has additives. Find USP (pharmacology grade, in the US)
linseed oil if you want a food-safe product.


I thought raw linseed oil did not cure. Am I mistaken?
