Your research has served you well and you are correct that the AFM SafeCoat Naturals Oil Wax or AFM Safecoat Naturals Penetrating Oil would be what we would recommend for your table. Both will hold up against heavy use of cooking and serving and be easy to repair if there are any unfortunate accidents down the road. Both are non toxic, so you, your family, and your guests can enjoy the natural beauty of the wood while knowing that it is sealed safely with harmless ingredients. The main difference between the two oils is that the Oil Wax has several waxes included which provides more moisture protection while the Naturals Penetrating Oil has no wax and is food grade. If you are not cutting on the table or have young children eating right off the table, I would suggest using the Oil Wax. Both will look the same, i.e. they will slightly darken the wood with a mild amber/honey tone.
