I'm a fan of Watco butcher block finish. It finishes harder like a poly, especially with a few coats (think wooden spoons that you buy)... Less greasy than mineral oil or wax. I do use the stuff you used on my cutting boards though.
But for knife blocks and other stuff that won't take quite as much abuse as a cutting board but still needs a safer finish than poly, the Watco stuff if great. (Lowe's carries it, btw... Dunno about home depot)
It depends on the finish on the table now. If it is an oil, use Watco Butcher Block Oil and Finish. it will both protect it and rejuvenate the shine on it while keeping the antic look without adding any dark coloring to it.

I used the Rustoleum version of this on my shot glasses that I made recently. Holds up to alcohol pretty well and is food safe so I'm guessing the wear and tear is pretty good as well. I think the salad bowl stuff is essentially the same thing as well.
Hope this helps :)
Yeah I'm thinking about drinking out of it not sure how it will taste. I put on a food safe finish it's called watco http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000VITOT4?pc_redir=1395431410&robot_redir=1
Unfinished should be fine but if you wanted to use something they make finishes for things that will contact food. Here's an example of one made for butcher blocks and salad bowls. I've never used it myself. http://www.amazon.com/Watco-241758-Butcher-Block-Finish/dp/B000VITOT4
So you want to create your own butcher block?
If you just want to glue it, using a biscuit joiner would insure that it remains flat and level. The biscuits help lock it together.
For the finish, you want to look for the label "food safe". Something like this:
