An additional note about boiled linseed oil: After posting the video, one turner cautioned me that almost all boiled linseed oil products have metallic additives to enhance drying. It is, however, still considered food safe. After wandering the Internet for a while, I found that pure boiled linseed oil (no additives) is rather scarce. There is one product (Tried and True Danish Oil) which is polymerized and has no additives, according to the manufacturer. Woodcraft (online) carries this.
