I made most of these objects besides the chemex collar and the dark coffee scoop. Wouldn’t want to mislead anyone on the internet, that would be crazy.

Yeah I’m talking about the polymerization. If you oversaturate the wood it can seep out a bit and start to harden. It can be polished down to give a semi gloss which is nice. I was just wondering about the maintenance mostly. Do you reapply the tung oil again and wait for the curing to finish or just use it right away?
Oh i know what you’re talking about, I’ve done this to a mallet of mine. I basically submerged it in linseed oil for a pretty long time. It still secretes this substance you speak of to this day.
Since then my flood coat is just a couple of big drops in the spoon that i spread around with my fingers. I use rubber gloves, but it still feels pretty good.
When i reapply i do wait another couple of months before i use it again. I have duplicates of most things, and if i don’t it can usually wait a couple of months. I’m fairly sure i’d be able to drink the stuff i have here, so I’m not worried about that. I just don’t want it to wear off before it is cured.
