Another type of finish available is called a Salad Bowl Finish. Here's a description from
http://www.generalfinishes.com
"GF Salad Bowl Finish
Create a beautiful and safe finish on wooden bowls, cups, spoons, countertops and butcher blocks or any wood surface that contacts food. Easy to apply (just wipe on with a soft clean cloth) it achieves the sheen and durability of a varnish. Dried film is non-toxic for food contact 72 hours after drying. Additional coats can be re-applied at any time if maintenance of item becomes necessary."

Mineral oil. It is foodsafe and will not go rancid. If you search Cutting Boards/maintenance online this is what is recommended.

I purchase a product at one of the major home improvement stores (Lowe's or Home Depot, I forget which) called "Butcher block oil." It's food grade, so no worries.

i wouldnt coat it at all, wood is a natural anti-bacterial and if you coat it it might stop the wood from releasing it!
