Thanks John.  I've seen YT videos for some pretty complex jigs.  Sometimes (*maybe most of the time), simpler is better.

Post: RE: In making cutting boards what would you use
I've used Howard's Butcher Block oil.  I picked it up at Lowes.  I think it was less than $10 for a 12oz bottle.  It may be more expensive than making your own mix, but I don't keep any beeswax around...
