A good finish for cutting boards is a mix of mineral oil, and paraffin. It is applied hot, and when cooled it is not oily. When cooled it hardens. Cutting boards with this finish don't feel oily, they are kinda waxy. After the finish is worn after many uses, it can be easily repaired. Heat the hard finish in a microwave, until it is a liquid, and apply the finish to the board using a shop towel.

This is an end grain cutting board. When in use, the knife does not cut through the wood fibers; damaging them. The knife pushes the fibers apart; cutting along side of the fibers, not through them.
