FHC- I plan on renovating our kitchen sink countertop with Acacia butcher block and a large under mount single bowl SS sink. Both have been purchased already, and the holes for the sink, faucet, and soap dispenser have been cut. Anyone have a preference or experience using either of these 2 oils? Food will very infrequently be prepared directly on this particular countertop, but still don’t want to use a polyurethane, water or oil based, as this project is being done in the basement of our house = don’t want fumes throughout. Please share your thoughts and experiences.
All my wooden kitchen utensils and cutting boards get this on a somewhat regular frequency. I like it, it does have mineral oil. Cutting Board Oil
I just posted this in another thread. " Regarding what I use to condition or finish my utensils and cutting boards. Through Facebook ads, I recently became aware of Pure Tallahassee Tung Oil. "Tung oil" is one of my favorite wood finishes. I just never know exactly what is in the can. Pure Tallahassee Tung oil is exactly that, pure US grown and extracted tung oil. It's FDA approved as food safe after curing for wood surfaces. They also sell pure citrus solvent for thinning. They recommend thinning the tung oil 1:1 with citrus solvent for the first application or so. I ordered a quart of each to try out. They came a couple of days ago, and I'm looking forward to trying them. I need to get a new empty quart paint can to keep the thinned finish in. Most cutting board finishes don't really dry or cure, so eventually, they wash away. I'll report back after I get to try it out. There are some informative articles on their website. https://www.tallahasseetungoil.com/ I have no business affiliation with them, except as a customer. "
A good friend does woodturning and making wooden utensils. They use waterlox original. They called the company and they were told it's safe for food prep and even cutting boards. They used it on a couple of cutting boards i made for them. Best part appears to be the fact that it builds a film that lasts longer than the oils.
