Woodwork People

If I make a wooden platter or a bowl, what do I do to it to seal it and polish it etc to make it look nice and shiny and be able to use it to serve food in/on?

Do I use Beeswax?

[*crikey*mate*]

This is a teak bowl that instills the courage in me that i may be able to pull off something eligible for more than a doorstop LOL but it will have to be a darker brown like the bowl up the top and different to this, but it's kinda getting there if I squint really hard

Good luck in your endeavour 🙂

Ya never know what you can do until you have a go. Besides, what's the worst that can happen, I end up with some wood chips for the pizza oven or the smokehouse?

[poddster]

Yep.

At one time i lived across the road from a wood turner and all his wood chips failures ended up heating his workshop.

When the larger items broke, split or shattered he made smaller items where possible and the rest met the flames.

Crikey, that looks to me like someone was aiming to reproduce Scarlett O'Hara's picnic hat.

[poddster]

Scarlett must have had a very strong neck if she could wear that as a chapeau

[amber-eyed-girl]

There were plenty who would have liked to test the strength of her neck, I believe 🙂

[poddster]

Like vampires perhaps?

And as for Rhett, Frankly my dear he didnt give a **bleep**. ...... foolish person

I don't like garlic Poddster, and I rarely sleep.

It's not vampires, but the fact that she was not well liked, with a driving need to get her own way at all times...using to the superficial eye, her looks. But she was no fool, either 😉
