Thumbnail Filmstrip of 16oz Mahoney Utility Finish Images
Mike's Utility Finish is made of pure walnut oil. This finish gives a beautiful satin sheen to the piece being finished. It is great for use on sald bowls and wooden utensils. The finish can be easily reapplied when it becomes worn from use.
Mike Mahoney describes the properties of his finishes:
"What makes my Utility oil better than other oil finishes? My Utility finish is 100% high linoleic acid walnut oil, completely natural and food safe. There are no chemical driers. The oil has been heat-treated to make the oil dry faster and to remove any possible allergens. Linoleic acid is a particular acid that is naturally found in walnut oil. It is a stabilizing agent that makes the oil’s shelf life longer than other natural oils. The oil penetrates deeply into the wood and becomes a permanent part of the wood. I recommend one heavy coat. Apply with a brush or paper towel. Let soak in and wipe off any excess."
