Kelly...
Do not use nut oil like walnut, or vegetable oil like sunflower. These WILL
go rancid, and make the bowl smell terrible and ruin your bread. Use
food-grade mineral oil, availible at your neighborhood handware store as
butcher-block oil or salad-bowl oil.

You're welcome, Lilly. For a harder food-safe finish, for those of you
desiring one, rub a bit of carnuba wax into the wood. Rub really, really
hard - it's the hardest natural wax, but it will polish up really shiny.
I just use the block oil, and every year or so buff the surface and reapply.
