Tomislav thank you for sharing you knowledge on wood bowl finishes..

Finishes are one of the largest money pits for turners. It is incredible how much you can spend on them. Watching you & Richard I have decided to stop buying any more. I have enough and you can already do a great job with linseed oil and beeswax. Thnx for sharing! 😎

Like you, I've tried many types of oils. I have settled on walnut oil with carnuba wax for my wood bowls.

Tomislav, thank you for sharing your experiences with various finishes. I like the simplicity of Tried and True linseed oil finishes on bowls/platters. Looking fwd to future videos.

Thank you for sharing this video. I also used Danish oil and is also easy to use and protect wood realy well

Thank you for watching, I dont use danish anymore but it would be usefull on some stuff I'll do in future☺️

I've been using either linseed oil or tung oil (both heat polymerized pure versions) and beeswax blends for food items, depending on weather I want the wood to darken much or not. And danish oil for decorative items (it is generally food safe too but only after it's done curing, which is like a month)

I like to apply without wearing any gloves so I tend to stick to natural oils.... New one from sweet pickens tung oil citrus blend is awsome.....

Very informative. I have learned some new things that I was not thinking about when making bowls or functional art pieces. Thank you for sharing.

I discovered you with the four projects series: a wonderful discovery ! Although you claim not being scientific, your explanations are quite informative and systematic. After your presentation on scrapers (that helped me improve my turnings), this video is quite helpful in guiding us on finishing.

Nice video! I think finishing is the most FRUSTRATING and MYSTERIOUS to most woodworkers. EVERYONE ALWAYS asks, “ Is it safe for food contact?” Well…. The vast majority are, AS LONG AS THE FINISH IS ALLOWED TO DRY THOROUGHLY! Remember: most finish manufacturers do NOT WANT TO POISON YOU !

I find that the benefit of mineral oil is that a customer who purchases a finished piece can most easily restore it to original look without having to buy special oils.

@tomislavtomasicwoodturning

That is true, I tell my customers they can use mineral oil if its conviniet for them,and it can go on linseed or other penetration oil..... But most of them use coolinary linseed oil and works great

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on finishes. I like food safe finishes and have tried Mahoney’s walnut oil, Howard’s cutting board conditioner, Feed-n-wax and now danish oil. I like ease of application and low cost. Never tried linseed oil but now I might. Stuart

Thank you Stuart on comment and watching 🤗 I have tried like 20 oils and these work for me the best, I don't have to think about finishing anymore since linseed oil is just simple.... Thank you once again 🤗

Great information..I usually use beeswax and mineral oil friction polish then beall buffing system. Hopefully the customers can take easy care with it. Was thinking about tried and true maybe? Thank you for your content.

Thank you very much 🤗, I would say that TRIED AND TRUE OIL is extreamlly similar to what I use, as both are polymerized linseed oil, I love my version and I think that for utilitarian stuff you will be too.... Try it, compare with few washes.... Should be interesting results🤗 thank you for watching and comment 😀

Thank for thé démonstration, I don’t know if you have hemp oil, in french is « huile de chanvre » , not the one take as a drug, but this one for woodworking. It have the similars proprieties of linsed oil but not yellowing. It is food safe. I prefer it to linsed oil.

Tomislav, your videos are terrific. They are interesting, informative and educational. Your tool control is especially precise and inspirational. My question is what do your bowls primarily get sold and used for? Are they functional bowls that are used with food and not decorative bowls for display? Or would you say they are both? Thanks.

Thank you Kevin so much for kind words 🤗 , 99% they are functional utilitarian bowls, and they are truly used daily what makes me happy.... 🤗

Do you recommend to your customers to buy BLO and wipe down their bowls with it when needed?

Just regular linseed oil or walnut as those are drying oils....

Thanks for the great video on finishes Tomislav. Have you ever tried walnut oil? I have had great luck with it and it produces a Matt finish. And also, it can be renewed easily.
