Message-ID: <1559@vax3.fluke.UUCP> Date: Tue, 17-Dec-85 16:01:19 EST Article-I.D.: vax3.1559 Posted: Tue Dec 17 16:01:19 1985 Date-Received: Thu, 19-Dec-85 04:35:56 EST Distribution: net Organization: John Fluke Mfg. Co., Inc., Everett, WA Lines: 14 . I am interested in any recommendation anyone may have for a finish for a cutting board. I am a little reluctant to use "danish" oil or linseed oil since it may be toxic or at least bad tasting, but I would like to put something on it so it doesn't soak up water. Presumably there is some kind of oil which will do the job. Thanks for any experience you can offer.
