Sent this thread to the finishing section, but thought I had better send it to the turning forum as well as that is the one I usually look at.
My son had made a butter knife holder for his daughter from Padauk wood to as size of 9" x 7" by 2". Finished with mineral oil. The problem now is that the top edges appear to be showing a powder like substance.
I have since buffed with the beal system, 1 & 2. The same problem is still occurring.
Thought now of coating with Bush Oil, then rebuffing again. Or as I have seen on many posts, using the Antique Oil Finish.
Bush Oil, as I have it on hand and it was suggested to me from Woodcraft for bowls
Antique Oil as I have that on hand and use it on lamps that I turn.
