applying an oil finish (Read 265 times)

denny davis Junior Member Offline WR Rocks! Posts: 30 Normal Illinois USA Gender:	applying an oil finish Aug 28^th, 2019 at 8:09pm This is strange to me, but someone might know the answer. I have a segmented walnut bowl. Applied Walnut oil to inside and out..The inside has one coat and soaked in quite well. The outside has 3 coats of same oil and still has the look of not being completely soaked in. Has to be right? Thanks for any responses.

I have never seen it take 3 applications of being on the bowl 12 hrs wouldnt be good enough. Never experienced it this way beofre. Thanks for your input. Denny

Segmented items would not typically be used for food so why not use lacquer, WOP, etc
