read that walnut oil and sunflower oil will not go rancid

could not find any walnut oil but sunflower oil is cheap and easy to get
so am trying that out on some stuff

a little goes a long way and it seems to give better coverage than mineral
oil and it is cheaper too

was watching some turning videos of ernie conover and sure enough he
has been using walnut oil for years on his wood and his salad


Ten years ago, bought a pint of mineral oil at the drug store for our
three cutting boards, still have a bit left. Cost differences over time
are too small to matter. Does not affect taste of food, does not become
rancid, has not become sticky or gummy.

Y'all are over-thinkin' this..
