I’ve only used plastic so far. A friend was moving and she gave me her wooden cutting board. I cut something with it, and some grease got on the cutting board. Now I can’t remove the yellow spot no matter what I do. What can I do to clean it?

i mean, ok. but as an actual woodworker, my knowledge base shows mineral oil to be a standard food grade treatment for wooden kitchen implements.
And as an actual woodworker, what does your knowledge base have to say about walnut oil?
Not the person you asked, but I recently did some finish tests with natural drying oils.
Besides tung oil, linseed oil, hemp oil and perilla oil, the wallnut oil dried the slowest by far (talking weeks of difference) and needs added airflow and UV light to make anything happen (tung oil and perilla oil even dry out in the dark).
Besides, there’s the slight chance of an undried pocket coming into contact with someone who is allergic.
In my opinion, not worth it with those great alternatives.
I might have used “bad” walnut oil, I had only one sample, but it was unprocessed, organic walnut oil, the expensive stuff. Maybe you need to use the refined, cheap oil to get better results for woodworking.
My experience is different. Dries in a day, or less. Shrug. I’ll keep using walnut, works just fine for my kitchen ware. I’ve used tung and linseed oil for furniture.
