Mike: I use walnut oil from the grocery store, same as my turned bowls. Easy for the victim to renew.
At 74 I say that I am in the fourth quarter, no time to use junk wood!
I am looking for handles like in the photo. I made a batch of boards and thought I would see how handled ones sell.

The figure on those boards is fantastic. I’m firmly in the opening minutes of the 4th quarter myself. Life is too short for junk wood, cheap beer, bottom shelf bourbon, and dull tools.
