So, is walnut oil one of the oils that won't go rancid? I think I can  
easily get that in the grocery or at least the specialty groceries  
like Central Market or Whole Foods. I can remember a few years back  
trying to find a food-grade wood finish. At lot of those I found  
probably were, but the manufacturers weren't going to say they were  
because of liability questions.

I also think I forgot to mention this file in the CRAFTS section when  
I mentioned files with info on wood finishes yesterday.
