O I'm wrapping up my Christmas cutting boards and I've ran into an issue ideally you guys have answers to. The end grain has been soaking up oil for nearly a week and the others a few days of oiling but hardly any sucking up.
Oiling is purely mineral oil.
All sanded to 320.
The far right edge grain I thought had enough oil and was given to my wife. She used tomatoes and then rinsed the board and immediately the maple grain lifted and feels like a cat tongue. I dried it then have since added more oil which it's soaking up like crazy!
So what did I do wrong? What can I do to get my smooth surface back and is a wax a better option or something to be used in conjunction to oil?
Thanks!!!
