    wax or oil finish

    I'm thinking of turning my first bowl tomorrow on a blank that is cut as a square lump of wood so it will be end grain bowl. Maybe not the ideal wood to start my adventure in bowl turning but I have 6 or 7 lumps of this wood so I have a lot to practice pieces to run through. I would like to...

    Olive Wood

    Hi all, I have managed to come by some Olive wood which I must say looks absolutely brilliant. What a fantastic grain. Before I make some pens out of it, does anyone have any ideas on the best finish. I think this wood has some oil on it at some time as it was a cheese board. More to the...

    Chopping block

    I was across in Snainton two weeks ago and picked up a couple of pieces of olive wood. The wife wanted a new chopping block so a bit of sanding and a couple of coats of food safe mineral oil and it’s finished. No fancy woodwork I’m afraid, the beauty is in the wood.
