Mike is now making his personal woodturning finishes available to the public. The secret to his satin food-safe finishes? Pure walnut oil from California. Mike heat treats the oil to make his Utility Finish; it penetrates deeply into the wood and then hardens, leaving an excellent utility finish that will not evaporate like mineral oil finishes.Mahoney’s Oil Wax Finish is Mike’s own unique blend of pure walnut oil, beeswax, and carnauba wax. This fine paste wax is superior to mineral oil based waxes; the walnut oil penetrates the wood while the beeswax and carnauba blend to create a harder surface with more luster.Mahoney’s Fine Finishes are high-quality, non-toxic, and food-safe products - a woodturner’s dream!  Ask for it by name.
