Thanks for all the answers, I'll try out the liquid parrafin I think,
I have enough to worktop to make around a dozen good sized boards!!
but I'm trying to think of another use for the longest piece as its
1.5m and it would be a shame to cut that to bits !! - first thought
is
a kitchen trolley/table thingy on castors !!

Bagatelle or shove ha'penny board game?

Carve an improving motto into it and hang it above the bed?

Where you wouldn't see it!

But, like piles...you'd certainly know it was there...

I bow to your greater experience :-)

I'll pass on your compliments to my telly the next time "I've got an
embarrassing illness that I wouldn't dare tell anyone about...except
when there's the prospect of me and my insert body part here being
shown to 5+ million viewers" is on.

Regards,

The 5+million viewers wouldn't include me - we haven't a telly ...

Don't use oak to make chopping boards.

I'm fine with wood, but not oak. I don't even much like it for worktops
-- the problem of staining from iron + water is just too troublesome in
a kitchen.

I wouldn't try and seal them either. Oil them (grapeseed, walnut, but
not olive) regularly instead.

There's no staining on my oak boards ... and they come into plenty of
contact with water. And they're not sealed, oiled or finished in any other
way.

I have just read your response and it does not seem helpful, because its
13 YEARS too late!
