I am very confused about the best way to prepare a butcher block counter before using it for food prep - not necessarily cutting on it? I purchased Numerar beech wood butcher block and prepared it with tung oil which they recommended. Was this the wrong thing to use? I did quite a bit of research on this and it was mixed as to what to use. I read that mineral oil works too, but soaks in very rapidly and must be reapplied often. Help?

Mineral oil is the oil I prefer and use on my cutting board...it won't turn rancid as other oils do.

My husband uses a bed wax for our cherry wood butcher block. I use it all the time for everything from canning to baking to you name it and it's has stayed gorgeous. The cats like itand my goat jumped on it once.
