I've heard treating boards with veggie oil is good? And food safe of course

[tombo]

Yes ! Traditionally used alongside of beech.

Some oils are good but some also turn rancid

The latest on these bread boards. Spoke to the customer today and it turns out they are Steak boards for putting cooked steaks on. They want them round so not boards but end cuts about 8 to 10 inch diameter. How can I dry them without splitting

Already seasoned wood?

It would take years to season a 10" pole. And your still have a lot of waste at the ends. I think the best bet on multiple boards would be to remove 2" plug from centre and then glue and screw to plywood to stabilise whilst drying then plug hole when dry.

Pretty much impossible and also a real pain to sand end grain.

Muttley would that work on different woods or just certain types. I get the feeling this one is going to be a right pain. Do you think I should offer planked boards in different shapes. Would make life easer. Yea Rob D just what i'm thinking

If your doing it for an experiment then try it out. If it was to fulfill an order, then i would convince the customer to order a product which you can have faith in. Long grain serving boards would be far more stable and a better investment. Other than that you could make butchers blocks and cut them round, but they would be expensive.
