2021 what did you do today?

[Bowjunkie]

I could use bees wax but I need it to be clean food grade. I mix it with mineral oil too for use on cutting boards, rolling pins, and such.

Nice looking kitchen stuff there, Junkman...

Flem you could mix it with Aloe Vera and put it on your face to remove wrinkles:)

Would probably make his cheeks puffier.

OH don't tell him that...

Who knows where else he may apply it:)

That cutting board looks too nice to be used.

Nice kitchen implements BJ. When I was carving bowls, my finish consisted of organic flaxseed oil mixed 50/50 with beeswax. Makes a food safe finish, but application requires patience because multiple coats are required with curing time in between. Renders a rich deep finish when applied over time - the old European master woodworkers used it. This mix can also be used to waterproof boots and rain slickers!

I though that was what Preparation H was for?

Nice job, Jeff....

An old cabinet maker I worked with told me he never used plant/food based oils on cutting boards or butcher blocks because they could go rancid over time. Instead he used pharmaceutical grade mineral oil, the kind you take as a laxative.   Worked for me so far.

Beautiful work, by the way.

Morning sunshine:)

Rain here today bro, and forecast for rest of month! 

[Bowjunkie]

Thanks fellas.

Yes, that's the mineral oil I used. Pharmaceutical grade. 1 to 4 ratio of beeswax to oil, melt in double boiler, stir occasionally as it cools into a paste. I haven't had it go rancid, and with the wax added it fills pores.

My wife has a bakery and I made some french rolling pins for her with Hophornbeam. Not fancy looking, but tough. Her and her workers love em.

That cutting board is black walnut, hard curly maple, padauk, and the dark strips are some Brazilian rosewood I've had laying around here for over 20 years.

Good change of pace from making bows and better than burning good wood I wouldn't have used otherwise. Wife wants me to sell them in her bakery. That's all I need. Lol

Thats the recipe and ratio I use for string wax.

Got another curve going with more sycamore. The fsde tiller is still off on it but getting close. prolly gonna lose a pound or two. Limbs pretty much pulled straight right out of the box. I have had this string groove maker for awhile. Used it today on the curve
. Seems to work really well.
