Heated in a double boiler arrangement to combine wax and oil:
And applied to the external surfaces of the woodenware:
I let the coating dry for a couple of days and rubbed in the excess with a cloth. Several of the pieces above are on their second coat which was applied seven days after the initial treatment. Everything smells of linseed oil.
Hello,

Thank you.
