We bought a Hoosier base Monday. The enamel top is long gone. Someone had obviously used this in their garage, greasy finger prints and at least one
boot print, equally greasy, could be discerned on the pine top.
I have been sanding (by hand) and scraping, and cleaning for the past 3 days. I almost (not quite) have it down to raw pine, clean
enough that I won't mind putting edible cutting board wax on it and using it to knead bread.
Should I add this to the list of "wood tools" I've been refurbishing with cleaners I can eat or does it go elsewhere? I doubt I'll ever do enough to do more than get one
PEP thingy, but... I'm doing the work anyway, so I might as well count it?
Originally, the thing looked like this, mine is a LOT rougher.

I have a pic of what the top looked like after 2 cleanings/scrapings. I can take a pic when I'm done and after I
feed the
wood. I didn't think to take a pic when we brought it in the door....
