Linseed Oil & Beeswax Finish on Jarrah Pepper Grinders
Yesterday I tried something different on a couple of jarrah pepper grinders. Rather than use my usual Ubeaut products, I wanted something with a bit less "shine" for a change. So after sanding to ~ 400 grit, I rubbed boiled linseed oil into both pepper grinders, wiped off any excess and allowed to dry. Then, with the pepper grinders still spinning on the lathe, I applied some beeswax and buffed this to a finish I suppose that is more a "satin" than a gloss. Looks very good on the jarrah.
Question is - I don't know if this finish is robust enough for something that is handled a lot, like pepper grinders. Is the finish likely to last, or will it deteriorate quickly. Anybody had any experience with this type of finish ???
