Tung Oil: This is a food safe oil that brings out the depth of hardwoods.
I use it on my cutting boards as well as on any other piece.
Although it is not as durable over time it is very easy to maintain as well as revitalize.
Wash and towel dry after use.
No soaking.
No dishwater.
For luster simply rub on and wipe off any food safe oil such as Tung oil.

Rock hard finish: This is a highly polymerized oil/urethane blend that penetrates and seals the wood.
I recommend this finish for almost all my pieces as it is very durable and resistant to water and alcohol.
It is buffed to high or low gloss and is wonderfully soft to the touch. Wash with soapy water and buff with a waxy cleaner.
