With about 15 years of woodworking experience under my belt, I've tinkered with a LOT of wood finishes. Over time I developed this finish, a shop-made blend of oils and urethanes that gives the protection of a film building finish but is as easy to use as an oil finish. It's truly the only finish I need!
*Just to be clear, this is NOT food safe. Perhaps a video on my favorite food safe finish down the line? Let me know in the comments if you'd like to see that!
