    Default Wood Handle Finish

    I am making some wooden T-handles and grooved mushroom shaped handles. What is the best finish for them. I will be using them on homebuilt tools. Poly, wax, oil?

    Thumbs up

    Boiled linseed oil is fine, probably even a hard burnishing oil. Advantage with BLO is it can be kept forever and is easy to reapply.
