Only time will tell. Just look at all the people who discovered things and people thought they were nuts.

I think we may have jumped the gun a bit. Olive oil and coconut oil are both shelf stable. I've been reading up on home made beeswax wood stains and most call for either olive oil or coconut oil.

I doubt that either one is going to hurt you any KB
I don't  know how long term a sealer they are but if you re oil once in a while they should be fine
I like a fresh coat of true oil from time to time  myself
lets us know how it stands up for you so we can decide if we want to make the change

  Bees wax is a non toxic sealer. I believe it is rated higher than synthetic sealers as far as moisture protection goes. I use a little olive oil in my string wax mix with bees wax and use the same stuff to seal bows on occassion.

Walnut oil can be used and mineral oil.  These oils are also food safe.  Vegetable oil goes Rancid........End of story.

Olive oil and coconut oil are non drying oils but they DO NOT go rancid. In addition coconut oil has anti-fungal and anti-viral properties and it tastes great too ...spoon of it on the tongue and let it melt in your mouth.... that is if you live on a climate where it's solid most of the time....above 80 degrees F it's liquid. And it's the only thing I use on my cast iron pans for seasoning. Never thought about it for a wood finish though, too many superior products readily available....

Walnut oil DOES go rancid (real fast).....
