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

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.

Just FWIW...

When I put in cutting board/butcher blocks like this for customers:

I generally present them, as lagniappe, with both these John Boos'
products to maintain their new product, and all their cutting boards,
thus far with excellent results.

I usually shy away from products that are applied to wood with
descriptions/terms like "creme", and "mystery", but these do the job
well, and the client's are always appreciative.

YMMV...
