I'm looking for a guide on how to stain and varnish certain types of timber, including chopping boards.

Hello @alisshamack_25 

In regards to chopping boards, I can only suggest using food safe waxes and oils. Staining and varnishing wooden furniture is a very popular topic.

Here are some discussions that talk about how our members stained and varnished their furniture:
