This looks like a fun project
What tools did you use, and what oil did you finish with?
Sloyd and hook knife. Not finished in the photo but will use walnut oil
I made some wooden butter knives about a year ago, have been meaning to make more. Mine aren't quite as fancy as your but something about the feel of the wood in your hand is so nice
Absolutely gorgeous!
What kind of oil do you treat them with? Or do you let the butter do it naturally?
i'm not them, but i'd use a few layers of mineral oil, tung oil if i could get my hands on it. finish with beeswax. i'd worry about butter spoiling in the wood too much to use it as the primary finishing fat
Beautiful. I really need to upgrade the old poop knife.
Beautiful!
