Hello guys and gal, not looking to start a war over finishing, but this one is for Kara, what’s your favorite way of finishing your amazing boards?  Any tips of tricks for the rest of us when it comes to finishing?

Eric Markvicka
Dan, really excited to hear you're looking at selling your ZCIs at a physical location. Two questions, 1) why not bow ties as well, and 2) I'd like to hear more about selling in a physical location, such as how is your packaging changing for selling at a physical location versus Etsy, how will your item be displayed, and how are you going to educate the buyer about your product?

Bossanova Woodworks
I made a cutting board for a friend years ago when I was much more of a noob woodworker. They showed me recently that one part of the cutting board had mold on it, so they bleached it based on some crappy advice they found on the internet. 
Have you ever had a cutting board that you built get mold on it after heavy usage? This thing is probably 3 years old and she loves it and wants me to salvage it but it’s just going to be replaced at this point.
