I would like to resurface that counter, and I am looking for

options.

Once the surface has been prepped, what would be a recommended surface
cover - ala a specific oil, where food prep will occur.

Clean the stains with oxalic acid. If you are going to use it for
food preparation apply several coats of liquid paraffin. Clean and
repeat every few months.

Do not use varnishes, epoxies or any other surface coating.



I wouldn't use a mineral finish. Although it's inert, so good for food
prep, it also gets very tackyin hot weather. A higher melting point
paraffin wax might better
