I know this has been asked a number times but what do you finish a maple
cutting board with?


The last time I made a cutting board was in shop class and the preferred
finish was peanut oil.

IIRC other vegetable oils would go rancid and mineral oil could impart a
yucky taste.


Peanut or soya-bean oils will not go rancid, others do. I use
soya-bean, it's cheaper
