I made a tofu press and have some Howard butcher block conditioner on hand. Is that enough for a finish or do I need something more?

I don't know what that butcher block conditioner is. If it's meant for butcher block counter tops, I would make sure it's food safe.

Food grade mineral oil is a common choice for cutting boards. Since you're working with food, I would make sure that whatever finish you use is specifically food grade.
