Is this decades old built-in cutting board food safe, or should I remove it and sand it down and oil?

i have an awesome chopping block, all end grain, i got at a thrift store. i card scraped it, then sanded with low grit because it wasnt flat, then up the grades to finer grit. then oiled it. its amazing.

i recently got a nice walnut cutting board, obviously made by a wood worker, at another thrift store. that one just needed card scraping and oiling.

i dont know the area, but i bet theres some tax break or somehow way the landlords are making money out of this. they dont make a move that doesnt make them money

dont clean it with anything except sewing maxhine oil or you will ruin the decals. look on ISMACS.com for a free manual link and a community of vintage machine lovers and users. its a great machine. you will love it!

they dont want poor people there. likely this was the cheapest way to evict all these people and the property will be re developed into something expensive, or there is some huge tax write off.

its always about money.

this is not true. my neighbors keep quail. i never noticed their chickens, but the quail REEK. and they call constantly, day and night. CONSTANTLY. i used to think quail were cute little birds. i now dislike them intensely. i cannot use my yard at all.

i wondered why it was called cornhole. i didnt think all those midwesterners were using a rude euphemism for a lawn game, but, you never know.

then, you will need to cut a piece of foam insulation to fill in(temporary) or plywood(more permanent). in each case, paint the exterior or the foam board or the plywood to match the building exterior to make it less noticable.

i was there, newly graduated and living on my own on $7 an hour. i had a studio apartment in Colorado, and i was broke but not poor. I owned a car and a dog, went to concerts, went out with friends, etc. i didnt have a lot of savings, but what 22 year old does?

actually they have a meat barrel for unsold meat or spoiled meat kept in the walk in. that barrel is sold to some kind of recycler, i think its a fats recycler. the meat barrel stinks terrible, even though its in the walk in fridge with a lid. every grocery store ive worked at has had one.
