I have nothing serious to add to the conversation as I know SFA about wood, woodworking etc. I've tried all sorts of building with wood and I suck at it.

Linseed reminds me always of the beautiful aroma of the old wood putties, that were predominately linseed! YUM! I find raw linseed a lovely smell, but boiled linseed (commercial stuff) is objectionable.
I make my own boiled linseed, and it does not have near the same odour (and dries better than the commercial crap!)
If I were making a food service bowl, I would look in Organoil's line of products (their Scandinavian Oil in superb!). They do do a fine food grade rubbing oil.
