You have certainly got that Danish Oil finish up to a high gloss Thomas, is it as applied today, or has it had time to dry/harden before buffing?

 

[THOMASB]

Hi Chas more than one coat left to dry buffed on a wheel,
first time I have tried oil have always used woodwax22.

Nice pieces of work there. One question though, about the Danish oil. Is it food safe for the honey dipper? I heard somewhere that we should be wary of a lot of the oils except, ironically, paraffin oil if the object is in contact with food.

It's OK as long as someone does not confuse Liquid paraffin BP with Kerosene :lol:

On the subject od the Honey Drizzler - the ones I make and sell have deeper fins and are a sort of 'rugby ball' shape at the business end. There's a good vid' on Utube of someone making one. Personally I'd never use Danish for food use - though I don't think it's toxic or anything - just too smelly. I currently use Grapeseed Oil or any food oil really will do.

Thanks for your comments, the Honey Dipper is finished in Walnut oil.
