Just curious what the general concensus is .. got a new stop.. use as is? (dry)
or apply 'conditioning oil' / 'olive oil' / 'mineral oil' / etc? I've even seen rubbing
it down with your hands to get 'hand oil' on there.

Thoughts?
(if the answer is conditioned, anything around the house I could use? ie mineral
oil, etc.. )

Thanks.
