You can either use boiled linseed oil and it will give you a nice finish but it will make the wood a bit more yellow. Note that boiled linseed oil is usually not food safe because of chemicals to make it dry faster.
If you don't want it to go with a yellow tint then you can use paraffin oil...

Hello again,
The weather starting to get nice and warm. Summer is just around the corner and I can finally get out to carve some spoons without my gloves on. ;)
