State University, Raleigh Lines: 13 Another article from FineWoodWorking sometime last year (what issue you ask? Buy 'em all and find out, I suggest) promotes Walnut Oil as a finish. Like Tung and Linseed Oils, walnut oil will dry to a hard finish (and like tung and linseed, it takes a long time to do so). Walnut oil is apparently edible, being sold in grocery stores, and the price is not bad, compared to pure tung oil. This is not an endorsement. I've never tried it. -- _Doctor_ Jon Mauney, mcnc!ncsu!mauney \__Mu__/ North Carolina State University
