Thank you Heather. There's lots of videos on turning end grain. I may do one sometime. Thank you.

Thanks Doug. I appreciate that.

Well thank you Tommy! I feel honored! I appreciate that! The bottle is my mix of friction polish. I mix 2 parts shellac, and 1 part each of denatured alcohol and either mineral oil or boiled linseed oil. You can also use other oils like walnut oil. On the jaws of your chuck there is a dovetail angle. You want to make that same angle on the tenon of the wood so they match. Also close your jaws then open them slightly so there is a little space between the jaws. No more then 1/4 inch. That's the diameter you want the tenon. I make my tenons about 3/8 of an inch long. I hope that helps. Let me know if you have more questions. Thanks for the sub and watching.🙏

Thanks Barry. I appreciate that. 🙏

Thank you Glenn.

Thanks Huw. I've been meaning to ask. What is the meaning of FOG wood?

Thanks. Now I don't feel so dumb.

@@RcWoodturning I did as well when I asked. LOL

I have some driftwood. I guess that would be FOB wood?

Thank you Rob. I had my problems with the skew until I understood how to use it. Learning the skew is all about using the bevel. As far as a durable food safe finish, I use shellac. I mix it as a friction polish. Equal parts of shellac, mineral oil, and denatured alcohol. You could use walnut oil if you want a darker finish. It's quick and easy and leaves a nice finish. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching. Rus.

Thank you. I use mineral oil mixed with shellac and denatured alcohol. The shellac give it the shine.

It can be done either way. I've just always done it this way.

@@RcWoodturning huh interesting I’ve just never seen it done this way before

Thank you. Most of what I sell is local. I sell to a restaurant and a floral shop. I've been getting special requests from some of their customers. I'm not trying to sell to much because I don't have that much time to commit at the moment. Thanks for watching. Rc.

@@RcWoodturning I may have already asked you that before, it's getting harder to keep track. lol

I know what you mean. I keep going to my shop because I can't remember if I locked the door. LOL

It's regular wood. Not pressure treated.

Friction polish.

@@RcWoodturning thanks I use beeswax’s

@@denvermiller3780 beeswax is good. I use it over the friction polish on some of my projects.

Thank you.
