chrisjpainter Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 I'm currently making a priest for use on the yak. It's made out of wood (hawthorne, if that helps!), my question is what would be best to coat it in once it's ready for treating: oil? varnish? something else? Any suggestions would be good. If I can, I'd like to keep the colour and grain of the wood as natural as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winnie&bezza Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 I’d go with either a tung oil or boiled linseed oil Chris. But then again I’m a big fan of Osmo Polyx hardwax that dries quicker. You’ve got quite a few to choose from. Or this which I saw the othe week and fancy giving it a go. https://www.workshopheaven.com/alfie-shine.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMImJ6cpL6J2wIVRTwbCh0omg1oEAAYASAAEgKUZvD_BwE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stimo22 Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 I find that linseed oil takes a while to dry, I use Danish Oil on the sticks and priests I make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panoma1 Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 Wouldn't the Yak take exception to be hit over the head with a lump of wood? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker570 Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 This one was varnished but I would also use boiled linseed oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
