On some of our woods we use different finishing processes; many of them are time consuming. For instance, un-stabilized spalted alder can be extremely porous, we’ll put up to 10 coats of tung oil on them which requires at least 4 hours between coats, sometimes longer. These all-thread rods and closet nuts (like an acorn nut drilled through, they are used to bolt toilets down) hold the blanks and can be put in a drill press (most of our finishing happens on the drill press), the nuts work on slimline to Baron tubes. The rods are easy to hang onto for buffing and polishing, good for keeping things organized (I need a lot of help there) and are just generally handy.
