Gentlemen:
As a wedding gift (just over 11 years ago!) my wife's great uncle gave us (really me, my wife can't cook a lick!) a beautiful maple cutting board he made himself. For since forgotten reasons - it has sat in a closet, unused. I broke it out, put it on our counter, and want to use it. Wood being wood, it has moved a bit, and needs some care. My plan is to hand plane the bottom to flatten it (it rocks a bit) and use a card scraper to re-ferbish the top (the glue seams are a bit raised) After scraping the top, I want to recondition it. I have no experience with wood boards, and I have two questions to any out there in the know:

-What should I use to treat the top (wax? oil? nothing?)

-What is the day to day care regimen (clean/rinse or not? that sort of thing)

I know I can research this pretty easily, but from many of the threads in this sub-forum, I know threre are cooks and foodies out there that have some good advise.

Thanks a lot - Gags
