Read about Polyx oil in the latest FWW, and wonder if anyone has experience with this product. A search of reviews on Amazon found mostly 4 and 5 stars.
I am interested in using it on some live-edge walnut slabs to be used in our kitchen area renovation. But Wait! Though it is kitchen area, it is not directly kitchen counter. One slab will float in front of a large picture window, another will float over a peninsula above the counter that has the sink. This slab will be a kind of breakfast bar, so it will see eating and drinking. Two more, smaller slabs will be open shelves for plates and glasses.
The polyx appeals because it is more of an in-the-wood finish. I don't want a plastic film of protection on this beautiful wood. It is repairable, which is good unless it needs to be repaired often. And I'm not set up spray a heavy duty conversion varnish.
Osmo makes a finish specifically for food areas, Top Oil, which might be more appropriate, but my guess is this contains slightly less toxic ingredients, a consideration which might not be necessary if I am not going to be preparing food on the slab.
