I'm thinking about doing some cutting boards for Christmas gifts. What's best to use to seal those, or do you just leave them raw like that?
Mike, you'll likely get various opinions, but my recommendation is for plain ol' pharmaceutical mineral oil. It protects the wood, doesn't go rancid like some vegetable-based oils can, and it's easily renewable after the board gets some use. I've used it on dozens of cutting boards with no complaints.
So no stain or anything, just the mineral oil then? Can you give me a run down of the application process?
