How to Treat a Butcher Block

Treating butcher block can be done with a number of oils, but the owner must be sure never to use vegetable or cooking oils. These types of oils will cause the board to have a rancid smell and pass a bad flavor onto the items cut on the board. Treating the block is a fast process, but it must be left to sit overnight. This process should be completed each time the butcher block is used or at least weekly. Does this Spark an idea?
