Six kitchen implements of destruction have been thoroughly greased!
I used coconut oil as I sadly do not have access to walnut oil for the time being.
I had to swap out a spoon for the two-pronged fork while I was oiling, as the fork was too dirty to be oiled.
Is there a good thread somewhere about the walnut oil extraction process?

I use walnut oil to protect my kitchen woods. This time through the oiling, I also sanded some of the more rough pieces.

It had been quite a while since we had oiled our utensils and the board so they were definitely in need of it. We used coconut oil instead of walnut oil because that is what we had on hand currently.

Regular maintenance of my wooden kitchen utensils.

Used grapeseed oil because it's what I have, many sources cite it as a good wood oil, and it's the best oil for my dry skin so I'm oiling my hands at the sane time.

They weren't in a terrible shape so the visual effect is subtle, so I added close-ups of the small cutting board as a bonus.

I choose some of our kitchen utensils very much in need for some oil.

The reasons why I chose flaxseed oil are: 1) I had a gallon at home 2) I don't have walnut oil at home and didn't want to purchase it now 3) I was reading through the previous submissions and found this article that I read: https://treeboard.com/blog/nine-myths-about-linseed-oil-and-flaxseed-oil/
