I'm looking for opinions from those who have used Mahony's walnut oil.
I have quite a bit of kiln dried walnut and I want to make a couple of food safe bowls with it.
What are your opinions of it and did you use the walnut/wax product they sell specifically for it? Can it be used to wet sand to a soother finish?
Also, I want as smooth a finish as I can make. If the piece is sanded down to a very smooth finish will the oil penetrate as well?
Or, does applying it a couple of times, then smooth sand it and applying more coats prefered.
One more thing...on Klingspor's site I'm ordering supplies and they sell Micro Gloss Liquid Abrasive. Do any of you use this? I understand it's for bare wood and as I said, I'm making food safe bowls and I want the finish as smooth as I can make it because these bowls are going to be given as gifts to very special people and I want them to be especially nice. What do you use to remove any residue prior to applying the walnut oil?
Thank you
