Greetings all. New member here.
I've searched the forums pretty well on this topic and only found one from 2011 that talks about making handle for things like ice cream scoops dishwasher safe. If there is a more current discussion on this topic, please let me know.
I have to imagine that there has been some advancements in finishing products since then. I'm looking to make some ice cream scoops and cheese cutters for my family from the offcuts of some black walnut that was given to me by my uncle from a tree he had cut down in his back yard. Has some sentimental value obviously. I have already turned some pens and have been getting some pretty nice looking pens. Trying to select the most figured pieces for these projects.
If there isn't really a good way to do this to protect the finish, I can let them all know to hand wash only. Even then I plan on saturating the mounting holes with CA to hopefully protect any water seepage into the wood.
You thoughts and comments are welcome.
