I used a mixture of olive oil, beeswax, and cocoa butter, because I don't keep walnut oil on hand and since I tend to cook for people with nut allergies, I'd rather play it safe. Googling indicated that beeswax and cocoa butter are suitable for wood, and this was a mixture I had already made for skin care so it gets double duty! I heated it before using so that it was applied as a liquid. Also it smells so good because it has rose oil in it. 🌹

I’ve never oiled kitchen woods before! I didn’t even know this was something people did. They look awesome though! I used coconut oil because I didn’t have walnut. The skinnier wooden spoon one was my grandmas and has cooked 90% of my food since my teenage years.

Is there such a thing as too many projects going?

Oiling wood. I received the rectangular spoons for Christmas and just used one to dish out coconut oil saw the little bits clinging to it and thought why wash them off when I can use them to oil the wood. Got the set together with the cutting board and one other spoon to make 6.
