Flaxseed oil is just one that I didn't try. I have four or five different finishes in the cabinet, and didn't want to buy more. I may try it when I run out of mineral oil, though. One oil that did work well was walnut oil...though it may not be good if someone in the family is allergic to nuts (thankfully that's not a problem for me).markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08115832567617717425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7031914540848437055.post-41238816563319407932012-10-08T08:34:50.520-05:002012-10-08T08:34:50.520-05:00Why didn't you just use linseed oil?

It is an approved food additive and you can pick it up for cheap at many online food/vitamin vendors. It's called Flaxseed Oil, because linseed comes from the flax plant. I usually get a special such as "5 pint bottles for the price of 2!" And the cost is around $15. Works great on all food prep surfaces. ☺Dave Bennettnoreply@blogger.com
