Maple Butcher Block -finishing question:
I know you're supposed to use mineral oil to maintain these, but is there a
step I'm missing between the joining of the panel and the application of the oil? I can't find a step-by-step guide, but I'm thinking the panel should be sealed somehow before being oiled and used? thanks! FL |

FL I made one with maybe 3-4 coats of shellac, can't recall the mix, but it was thin. Then soya bean oil rubbed in well. The old adage is: Once a day for a week Once a week for a month Once a month for a year Once a year forever, I have not followed that strictly, but close enough, and it seems to work very well. Barry Lennox Isn't that just if you aren't going to put food on it? |
