So I'm finishing up some items for a show next week. For the first time I used walnut oil on about 8 bowls that I made and I really liked the way that it looks and feels on them.
Would that be ok to use on peppermills? I worry about that because they get handled more. I finished my house hold peppermill with lacquer previously and a few years later there are signs of wear. Because of hunting I will only have about 3 consecutive days in which I can do the finishing. So I don't have a huge amount of time to work with something that takes days to dry.
I have a peppermill made of cocobolo and padauk that I know I will need to hit is some shellac first. Can I oil over the shellac? Or should I just layer up the shellac on those?
Thanks,
Derek
