Dear Hank, I used an edible wax compound available from Lee Valley Tools called "Beeswax Salad Bowl Finish." I put it on, warmed it, let it set, and then applied another two coats. So far water beads up nicely and looks Great! I sealed the bottom side with CPES Epoxy (Clear Penetrating Epoxy Sealer; a nasty, stinky but truly "penetrating" concotion) in order to reassure the first mate that garbage odors would not permeate the cutting board. Good luck with the project -- it sure does make a nice difference.
