Grapeseed Oil is better, less likely to go rancid. This is a great natural chopping board oil & available in most supermarkets such as Coles, Woolworths or IGA. A safer option but still some risk. Coconut Oil Is great for use on chopping boards any many other uses (see below).Feb 21, 2024
I’m fairly sure grapeseed oil can still go rancid. I would highly recommend either a mineral oil or one of the popular options that is mineral oil mixed with beeswax. Actually gives a bit of a tougher coating that is a bit easier to sanitize and clean.
Great. But what’s the point? It could be 11” thinner, do the same job, and you’d actually be able to move it without a forklift.

Where did you score that bad boy? Nice score! Sadly you need to mop up that Grapeseed oil as it’s going to eventually go rancid in those cracks. Sand it down and use food grade mineral oil. Good luck!

Wrong oil.
Outdoors? You will split that glue yesterday.

Please tell me you didn’t soak it with grape-seed oil dude..
Avid woodworker here, made and sold many cutting boards. Grapeseed oil is 100% going to go rancid.
Mineral oil with beeswax topcoat is a tried and true cutting board finish. There’s also lots of food safe finishes out there like Osmo top oil, and some others.
If I were you I’d scrub the down with dawn and try to remove what you can. Since it was applied in end grain, it’s impossible to fully go back, best bet is to clean, dry for a few days, and apply something different.

Use mineral oil as it will not go rancid
Is there a legit reason anyone would need a 350lb block at home?

Not looking good if you’re the pig.
