[Sca-cooks] To oil or not to oil?

[otsisto]

Mineral oil if you must oil. Most oils mentioned below can and do go bad.
Linseed is not a food safe oil.

I wouldn't use linseed oil.  You might go with something like lemon oil or
even canola or soy oil.  The butter will permeate the wood eventualy anyway.
Yes, we had butter molds as part of our pre-industrial culture.  Probably
from German and other European immigrants.  What sorts of designs did you
find?
