It is an oil-based varnish. I will try polyurethane in the near future. Polyeurethane is a great, durable finish, but it does not colour the wood vibrantly like oil does. I may try a combination of the two in a future video, so keep watching. You won’t believe what happens next!

Yeah, durability was my concern. The few things I've made or improved I've used urethane to help withstand use. I'm really interested in finishes that would be suitable for use with food - the bowls you've done are gorgeous.

I use Minwax Polycrylic (polyurethane) because it easily cleans up with soap and water. No harsh cleaners needed.

I've heard multiple people say any finish is food safe, as long as it is properly cured. Although, some are more durable than others. Shellac can easily be dissolved with alcohol, for example. Poly is your best bet for general use, in my opinion. Spar urethane is better for outdoor use.

I was hoping to see you chop wood. That was a tease at the end, right?

Well-told tales, Cam!

Mr. Famous has people to chop his wood now.

It's neat to see the saw moving around while idling on the ground.

I may have to start just posting links instead of embedding video, lest this thread get bogged down with thumbnails.
