|  Walnut oil Hey guys, I've had a request for information from a scroller making my Violin cutting board from the "Ultimate scroll saw patterns" collection, where I mention using walnut oil as a finish. He would like to know if there is a special brand name or where can it be purchased in the US. Can someone let me know please? |

 | Sue, I believe Watco offers a Walnut oil as does Tried & True finishes. Woodcraft (www.woodcraft.com) carries it.

| I would take what Kevin said, although my understanding is that those "oils" are a way of making money through mystery caused by not understanding the subject. Check "Understanding Wood Finishing" by Bob Flexner or one of the other similar books by other authors for more information. Tor

 | Walnut oil and walnut Danish oil are two completly different products.Walnut Danish oil can be had at most places that sell finishes. I think at one time I heard that walnut oil is something you can purchase at those health food stores (if youve seen me, you know I dont shop there!!!  Cooking stores sell it too, and I doubt brand matters much. Searching it out online you find many hits, chances are theres a place near your customers vacinity where it is available.. for a cutting board, yes, walnut oil is what he wants, not walnut colored danish oil.

| Just got a catalog today from Lee Valley. They have Walnut Oil. Here is the blurb from the catalog about it. "Traditionally used in France as a furniture polishing oil, walnut oil is ideal for use on salad bowls, wooden sppons,etc. both as an original funish and for periodic touch ups. It does not build up a finish as quick as tung oil, but it has a sweet smell and will not give any aftertaste to food, even when coming in contact with freshly wiped bowls or spoons. The dry finish resists water and alcohol. This is 100% pure walnut oil." 8fl oz. $9.70 17 fl. oz $15.50 1l/34 oz (??) $23.90 www.leevalley.com |

Walnut oil from walnuts is entirely different, and fine for any food use you might have in mind, although it can go rancid. Tor

| Another option is mineral oil. Mineral oil is a food safe finish that is used for cutting boards. The advantage of mineral oil is that it does not go rancid. Mineral oil is used in manufacturing many foods that require a high sheen such as jelly beans.

| Some people may have nut allergies, so a mineral oil may be preferred. Just as I was about to submit this, I realized it was a stale post. I'm usually late (not usually my fault). |
