I'm making an edge grain butcher block table top out of walnut. It has a lot of sapwood, and I was trying to see how it would look as I laid out the strips. I couldn't tell if the color would be okay, so I had a "bright" idea and thought I'd put mineral oil on it to see.
About 30 seconds later, I thought, I wonder if that will give me problems with the glue. I put the oil on the top (edge grain), but some spilled on to the glue faces (face grain).
I wiped it off and sanded it off. I can no longer feel oil on the boards. Do you think it will glue? If not, what could I do to salvage the wood? Plane them a bit thinner?
