This was my first time turning boxwood. I wanted to upgrade the handle of my espresso machine's portafilter. I’m really pleased with how smooth it turned out! Should I coat the boxwood, or is it fine as is?

That looks really nice the way it is. Like, it looks soft to the point of being plush. If anything, I'd just seal it with something that won't alter the color to preserve how it looks and make it easier to clean and keep sanitized since it's for a kitchen appliance.
