First of all, thanks to all those who have provided information and advice on my cutting/bread board projects. Pics are comming shortly (I promise).
On one of them though, the lady using it duly wiped it with only a damp (water only) cloth after using it. However, after a couple of wipings the mineral oil seems to be leaving and the grain has raised in those areas. Did I do something wrong? Was I supposed to pre-dampen to raise grain and then sand it down before I put the mineral oil? I put two coats of mineral oil on per the instructions on the can and per the help I was provided here. It wasn't used for 7 or 8 days after mineral oil application.
This is my 83 year old neighbor lady and she is thrilled with the board over her 20+ y.o. plywood one and she is not complaining about it; I am the one who has noticed it and I don't know what to do about it. Any help that you can provide would, of course, be of grerat help and appreciated. Thanks very much.
