I know this has been asked a number times but what do you finish a maple
cutting board with?


The last time I made a cutting board was in shop class and the preferred
finish was peanut oil.

IIRC other vegetable oils would go rancid and mineral oil could impart a
yucky taste.

I recall sanding, wetting, sanding, wetting, sanding, and then oil, rub,
oil, rub, oil, rub, etc until you got a nice finish and the rag was clean.

they come up with this striped stuff.
