It's not so much the oil that protects wooden kitchen implements. A good
coating of beeswax blended with a small amount of mineral oil will protect
wooden implements and prolong their usefulness. I not only coat cutting boards
with this mixture I also use it on wooden bowls and wooden spoons. Beeswax is
readily available and perfectly safe.
