Which oil is best?
Ive been carving a fair bit recently and have a variety of spoons, forks and butter knives made from apple wood, ash or hawthorn.
I have used olive oil in the past but i think it goes rancid after a while as the spoon I used it on smells a bit now, I also used mineral oil (butcher block oil specificly) but It seems to wear out pretty quick, Ive been told it doesnt set.
Ive also used Danish oil for a knife handle I made but im sure it's not food safe.
So is there an oil you swear by?
