Okay this is the scoop on oil finishes.
1) Almost all of the finishes that you are going to find in your local hardware store (oils) Have either heavy metal drying agents in them (nasty stuff) or they are a polermerized oil (meaning synthetics have been added) which is not a bad thing but it does help the oil dry.
2) For most things that do not invole ingestion these will work fine. If you want to use it on something that you will prep food on you need to find another oil.
3) Enter one of the only nontoxic oils on the market. The name of the finish is "tried and true". I prefer the oil/wax mix myself. I have used this on cutting boards, bowls, and spoons. I HIGHLY recomnend this stuff.
granted it is the thinkness of honey, it provides one of the best oils finishes out there. You should be able to find the stuff at
