The thread was about using wax vs oil. TomC originally used a wax and did not like the look so switched to an oil which did not darken the wood as much.I didn't see anything in that whole thread related the product I asked about and linked to above. I did see a lot of crap about Ipads however.
Oops, brain fart. Thanks for correcting.Dave got it backwards, the mineral oil made the board dark and the wax muck lighter.

Are you make flat grain or end grain boards? That makes a difference in what I use. Be careful in what you pay for what you buy. Like the product you were questioning are mineral oil or mineral oil and bees wax. You can get mineral oil at a drug store and probably less cost.svorhees said:Thanks guys, sounds like personal preference based on end appearance. I am making 6 boards so perhaps I will try different products.
Thanks again.
I do not think you will get a high gloss finish with just oil.Newbie here and to woodworking in general.
I bought a live edge slab of bubinga and have sanded the heck out of it (up to 4,000 micro mesh grit). I have applied the first and second coats of livos oil as suggested by wood seller. I'm not seeing the high gloss shine I was looking for! HELP! How many more coats do I need to do or is there some finish I can put on to achieve this?
I buy mineral oil from the rural feed supply . Far cheaper and if needed , comes in a large quantity container.His oil is a food grade mineral oil. He says that and nothing else. I didn't check the price but I bet it's higher than going to the drug store and buying mineral oil. I buy my mineral oil by the gal on line. You can get it in three different viscosities. Dave got it backwards, the mineral oil made the board dark and the wax muck lighter.
