my new board is oily?
I hired a local woodworker to make a board for me - 24x18x2.5 American Black Cherry End Grain - unoiled - living in Socal.
I oiled it myself a couple of times and let it sit with oil on top overnight and in the morning it was more or less gone.
its been about a week or so and its still oily whenever i touch the top of it. if i wipe it with a paper towel, it doesnt seem oiley but when i touch it with my hand OR leave something (like an amazon package on it or a food box) it will leave a oily footprint if you will, on the surface of the board and possibly whatever was on top of it.
Why is the board doing this? havent used it as a cutting board yet as a result. I dont want my food covered in cutting board oil.
