    Olive oil or vegetable oil Is what I use on my cutting boards.  Its cheap and you probably already have at home 🙂

    Here’s a cutting board I made for a xmas present finished with olive oil.

    juryaan ,

    This is what I found, I hope it helps……..

    Wooden boards should never be placed in the dishwasher, or left immersed for long periods, as the wood or glue may be affected.
    A light food-grade mineral oil is a good preservative for wooden cutting boards, as it helps keep water from seeping into the grain. Alternatively, one may also use a food-grade drying oil such aspoppyseed oil, tung oil or linseed oil. The first two dry much faster than linseed. Note that most commercially available linseed and tung oils are not “food grade”, as they contain metallic driers. In general, edible savory vegetable or olive oils are not recommended because they tend to go rancid, causing the board to smell and your food to pick up the rancid taste.
    To prevent cracking, cutting boards should be treated when they start looking dry. A standard recommendation is 5-7 times a year, or as needed.

    I’m glad the topic of the food utensils has come up.  I’ve been wondering if there is a type of wood that should be used for items that will be holding or touching our food.  Or should the question be, is there a type of wood that should *_NOT_* be used to make these items?

    Usually any pale wood is good for food use. Sycamore, Beech, Maple, Hornbeam and Ash (although a little open grained) are all good for this. Wood such as Oak with a high Tannin content can stain and turn black after contact with some foods.

    I have also heard of using walnut oil which can be found in health food stores Juryaan.

    I used walnut oil on mine.  They have been hand washed several times and seem to be holding up just fine.

    I also used walnut oil on my spoon, which I carved in ash. It came up really nicely.

    Was a template for the spatula included within the book? I noticed others but not one for the spatula.
