Sterling...the best that I have found is a "Food Grade" Mineral Oil...or any Unscented Mineral Oil will work...wash the Board good with Soapy Water....Rinse...Use White Vinegar on it to Sterilize it...dry it good...then liberally rub in the Mineral Oil...let it sit 15-20 minutes...then wipe off the Excess...that simple...that's the way I was taught from an Old Italian in a very upscale restaurant back Home

 Yep, what Mike said. I asked the wife. She was a meat wrapper and said that was dead on.

I use salad bowl finish from GeneraL Finishes on all the bowls I turn, but that mineral oil sounds even better.  Mine says that it is non toxic when cured.

Just called my dad, he cut meat for over 50 years and most of them on a maple block.  He echos the mineral oil recommendation and sayd you can't use too much or too often.
