A while ago I build an end grain cutting board that we use a ton in our kitchen. It was time to do a little resurfacing, so I ran it through the wide belt sander and sanded off a few hundredths.
I had thought that I had finished the original board with mineral oil and beeswax, but when I took that route again this time, the board has a dull finish, not glossy like the sides show. Maybe I used another finish. I can't believe that I would have used lacquer on it, as I know we would be using it a lot.
These pictures don't show it well, but the top finish is dead flat, and the sides are glossy.

Any ideas as to a good finish for this that's glossier?
