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?

Only sand up to about 200 grit. Any finer and the wood pores get clogged and will make it harder to absorb finish.
Good to know. They may be that fine already; they feel rough, but that could be because there really is no finish at all; they’re just dry wood.
Yeah not sure about for curved surfaces, but planing flat surfaces will make it feel super smooth and ready to take a finish. Note that it can also be wood dependent.
