I am making a cutting board and coaster set out of maple and walnut. I have finished the cutting board with mineral oil which has given me a food-safe, finish that has given a great contrast between the maple and walnut.
For the coasters, I want something a little more waterproof, and ideally I'd put polyurethane on it since the coasters don't need to be food-safe like the cutting board. However, I want the colors to match perfectly, and to do that I would like to also treat the coasters with mineral oil just to match the coloration of the cutting board.
Would it be OK to put polyurethane over mineral-oil-treated wood? Luckily, if nobody knows, I'm just using scrap wood for this so it give me an opportunity for an experiment. But if someone knows, it'd save me the trouble.
Thanks!
