im starting this also, busy with my 1st bowl. Many things to learn thats for sure
“You can live with the things you’ve made.”
Priceless.
Quite simply one of the best and most informative videos I have seen on UA-cam - ever. There is so much misunderstanding and misinformation out there on 'food safe' finishes for wood and having done some research I am more convinced than ever that the simple, natural approach is the most honest. So many manufacturers (in the UK, in my case) say 'food safe' because the finish may resist ethanol, acetic acid, iso-octane, etc., in a laboratory but this doesn't consider that chemical process that the manufacturing process of the finish will have gone through - and the solvents used, etc.
Thank you.
Very easy gentleman to listen to. Great info.
Thanks for the info. Your video on this subject is one of the better more concise ones I've watched. You stay with each given finish and don't jump around or cut one short and start on a different product.
This video hits all the questions I was looking to answer, straight to the point and its great
Thank you for the tips. I just started carving utensils and wasn’t sure the best way to finish them. This was very helpful
I just bought a bottle of cold pressed supplement flax oil and I am soo happy with it. Smells good and am amazed. Thank you
A timely video; I just turned my first plate out of Sycamore today. I specifically asked the tutors at my furniture school for a food safe oil. Ended up using supermarket Walnut oil. Thanks for the elaboration on the Linseed/Flaxseed differences. I certainly have no intention of using ghastly chemicals if there's a more natural and most likely safer alternative. Thank you.
Finally, a well thought out, intelligent discussion of food safe finishing. I agree with your endorsement of drying oils vs non drying oil. Thanks for the great video.
Thank you for this lovely video. This is the best video I've ever seen regarding oiling wooden utensils. Very informative 😊
Thank you very much for detailed explanation
Had some doubts about durability but Best validation was that you used those bowls everyday yet they look great
I will try to get it cold pressed from neighbourhood shop
Thank you. This is great stuff and very informative. Answered some long standing questions for this newbie.
aeisenre Glad I wasn’t the only noob here. Cheers!
Nice to have someone with experience to define good ways to seal wooden utensils. I greatly appreciate your time on this video. Flaxseed oil looks good - you did not talk about walnut oil, but maybe it's much the same...
Thank you very much for this helpful video.
well done teacher ! clear, something a novice can easily follow. thanks, the old sarge.
Thanks for the video, very helpful 👍
Excellent detail thank you !
Hello, really liked the way you communicated and shared your knowledge. I watched your video several times in past one year.. but somehow couldn't get as good finish on my spoons etc. Please answer my two questions..
1) how many coats of pure flaxseed oil are needed
2) at how many hours interval should be each coat given
Awesome video. Sooooo informative. Thank you.
Thanks for the information, Take care.
Awesome video, very helpful!
Great video, thanks for your valuable information
Thank you.
Great video! Instructive and super helpful. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thanks good information
So grateful for this vid. Thx!
How do you dry your green wood pieces to avoid cracking? Your video was exactly what I needed for finishing. But drying is also a concern.
Thanks

I agree with you ...
But not only that, I am also interested in knowing about the heat treatment of wood.
For example, in the video it is mentioned that in winter in the absence of sun the oven can be used to dry the wood and / or Klin, a concept that I would like to know more about.
However, I have recently found out that wood can be given a heat treatment that stabilizes the wood avoiding deformation, makes it more impervious to water / humidity, modifies internal sugars which prevents it from being attractive to insects and prolongs the life of the wood.
This heat treatment is used in woods for musical instruments and wood in general.
But it has caused me curiosity because I remember seeing a video that I have no longer been able to find in which a person took his chopping board once he finished making it and put it in the oven for a certain time replicating a heat treatment that now more than before am interested in knowing.
Thanks for the information. What do you think about using oils made for artists, for oil painting? Stand oil, linseed oil, etc. I mean pure oil, not painting mediums.
Hallo. Do you think a mix of flax oil and bees wax for second coat on wooden plate is a good idea.?
good Video, informative and educational. I have looked a bit and flax seed oil in bulk 1 gallons is not readily available. Where do you get your oil from?
I am just using hot flax seed oil. Sets up over night and lasts.
Q: How would grape-seed oil hold up?
Grape seed oil is a semi drying oil and would not dry as completely as those discussed here. Better than mineral oil for sure but not quite as good as walnut, tung or flax oil.
Have you had any issues with flax seed oil going rancid? How do you store it?
Are these bowls still green when the finish is applied, or do you dry them first?
Dave goes over the drying process extensively in his video on our site, but yes, they are dried first.
Is walnut oil safe to use if someone has a nut allergy?
Yes. Quite safe.
Thanks for the video, very informative. When carving with green wood, how long do I need to wait to apply the oil once I’ve finished carving, or can I apply straight away?
Dry it first. Orange desiccant beads help speed up the process and lessen the risk of cracking
If you were dumb enough to put boiled linseed oil all over a wooden cup is it ruined. Can it be boiled out? Will letting it cure help?
Great video but the volume is very low
Great video!
What is a good ratio of oil to bees wax if you make your own
I've been messing with 2-parts oil to 1-part wax, it's way too waxy. 3:1 is probably closer to good. That said, once I found some Tried and True I stopped using my concoction. -Ben
Thanks, how come the switch? because saved you the hassle?
5:58 to skip all the fluff. You're welcome.
First+Great Vid
Very hard to listen to this guy. Please write your speech and rehearse it.
What so hard to listen to? He's English. He was well-educated. He enunciates his words clearly. OHHHH... You're AMERICAN, aren't you.. ? (They haven't spoken english in America for more than a hundred years...)
