[QUOTE="PLANofMAN, post: 604056, member: 6324"] Yeah, cutting board oil is just mineral oil in a fancier bottle with a much higher price tag. It's very much like lighter fluid. You can buy the Zippo fluid in a small container, or you can buy a gallon of Naptha at the local hardware store for about the same price. Same stuff. :) Edit: a caveat about mineral oil, is it does seep into the pipe, and when smoking, it tends to wick through the pipe to the surface of the rim if the grain goes that way. I don't know how it affects the breathability or permeability of the wood in a negative or positive manner. I suspect the heat from smoking insures some sort of balance between how much mineral oil the briar retains, versus how much oil and tar is absorbed from the tobacco. I just wipe the excess off before the pipe cools. [/QUOTE]
