Not sure if I've got any around; I'll have a look. If not, I'll use fresh and just toast it a bit longer.
Getting ready for road trip to Corning, NY tomorrow. With fuel and pee stops (they don’t always coincide, looking at about 8 hours on the road.

Meal prepped a big bowl of salad so I have healthy lunches to take to the office this week. Then swept the deck, raked the leaves onto the vegetable patch, and currently watching football while the laundry’s on. Later I’ll make pickle soup for dinner.

I recently acquired two (2) end-grained teak cutting boards for pennies on the dollar (one new with a new polyurethane finish, and one used). I broke out the orbital sander today to remove the poly finish and clean them up, before wiping them all down with mineral oil. Tomorrow, once it has dried, I'll add another coat to all of them.

Beeswax and mineral oil is good 1:4.
I can attest, having a tub of Barriehie’s Board Butter!

Pure Tung Oil, I understand, is food safe and is the best, which I'll begin using once my mineral oil is used up. That is what I've used on my qajaq frames, but didn't understand until recently that it is also food safe.
