I've used several types of finishs/sealers on bowls, cutting board, serving trays etc
Walnut oil, cutting board oil, resin, h20lox, etc
Anybody like anything specific for their cups, bowls, or boards?

I’ve tried a bunch and just use100% mineral oil now
It’s cheap, ( sold as a laxative) and it works

I have used Odie's Oil on a couple projects. I think it produces a really nice food safe finish.
It is not "cheap", but you really don't use very much, especially for small projects.

For things like cutting boards, I just use plain old mineral oil
If I want to shine things up a bit, I use Howard Wax-It-All food grade wax.

RAW, not boiled, linseed oil. It takes awhile to cure, though, like a year.
It can be covered with wax.
