Based on Ed's video, I did two pens today with CA/BLO. They came out nice but from what I've read on other threads, it might be different tomorrow. We'll see.
But at a function tonight (computer function, not a turner's function - not near as interesting <g>
, we discussed BLO and the danger in using it.
So my question is this. Why BLO? Would other oils work as well? For my bowls, I tend to use vegetable oil so I tried CA/Vegetable oil (CA/VO?) today on a third pen. I was going to use Tung Oil but we couldn't find it.
Can other (more non-volatile) oils be used in place of BLO?
TIA
