What an interesting exp...Why you clever girl . . .<br /><br />What an interesting experiment. Those "hearts" are really something.<br /><br />I was going to suggest mineral oil, as that is what was recommended to keep my butcher block topped cart from drying out and cracking. It does have to be reapplied periodically but less so than on my wooden spoons that get washed. It always slightly darkens things initially. When I saw it was an ingredient in the feed n wax, I could see I was on the right track. But I think for these, you do need that added wax for a good finish.<br /><br />Have only used tung oil on my Grace quilting frame that came bare wood with that oil recommended for sealing. It did little to change the color or highlight the grain and I can't imagine using it on something like this.<br /><br />Of course, I would like the darker, richer versions of your stick buttons. Man, you will have so many you'll have to open and Etsy shop!The Idaho Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09979439849662755082noreply@blogger.com
