Poly/Polyurethane?
Poly
is
Polyurethane.
Basically
plastic
in
a
solvent.
It
makes
the
wood
shiny,
protects
it
from
dings
and
dents,
and
helps
make
it
water
resistant
and
cleanable
Almost
all
finish
is
food
safe
once
the
solvent
dries
and
the
finish
cures.
Some
solvents
take
a
long
time
to
cure.
There
is
a
difference
between
dry
(not
sticky)
and
cured.
Sometimes
you
gotta
use
Poly
on
softwood
lumber,
just
to
give
it
strength
&
density.

Beeswax
?
Beeswax
-
just
that.
Beeswax
rubbed
on
at
high
speeds
and
melted
into
the
wood.
I
get
my
beeswax
from
local
sources
when
I
can
Beeswax
Conditioner
-
A
paste
of
beeswax,
and
oil
of
some
type,
and
other
ingredients
to
help
it
dry.
It
wipes
on,
soaks
in,
then
shines.
I
generally
do
not
use
beeswax
anymore,
except
on
honey
related
items.

Hemp
Seed
Oil
I
use
a
shop
made
vegan
friendly
finish
is
made
from
Manitoba
Hemp
Seed
Oil,
Soy
wax,
and
Lemon
oil
I
use
Manitoba
Harvest
Hemp
Oil.
Hemp
Seed
Oil
will
polymerize
into
a
hard
plastic
coating,
but
this
may
take
up
to
a
month.
The
Lemon
Oil
is
used
for
its
d-limonene
which
acts
a
solvent
to
help
the
wood
absorb
the
oil,
and
to
help
dry
the
oil
I
get
the
Hemp
Seed
Oil
and
Lemon
Oil
from
Vita
Health.
I
am
using
Soy
Wax
to
thicken
the
mixture,
and
to
provide
a
velvet
soft
touch
and
shine
to
the
finish.
The
amount
of
soy
wax
depends
on
the
season
-
less
in
the
winter
when
it
is
colder.

Wood
products
are
water
resistant,
but
not
watertight.
Wash
them,
but
don't
soak
them.
The
cups
hold
water
overnight,
but
eventually
will
seep
and
the
glue
will
come
unglued.
You
may
need
to
refinish
your
piece
depending
on
how
you
use
it
and
how
you
want
it
to
feel.
You
can
use
the
same
polish
you
use
for
your
existing
wood
dishes.
Make
sure
what
you
use
is
food
safe
if
you
are
using
the
dish
for
food.
I
sometimes
have
shop
made
wood
butter
to
sell,
and
often
offer
a
small
pack
free
with
the
purchase
of
a
larger
piece.

Salvaged
wood?
Salvaged
wood
comes
from
the
back
lane
disposal
areas,
dumpster
diving,
and
tearing
down
old
projects.
It
includes
various
unknown
hardwoods
from
old
furniture,
but
*never*
old
pressure
treated
lumber.
If
you
have
old
square
hardwood,
we
may
be
able
to
turn
it
into
something
round.
Remnant
wood
is
what
is
left
over
from
new
wood
when
building
something
(ie:
the
8"
left
over
at
the
end
of
the
2x4).
The
pieces
left
when
cutting
circles
out
of
squares.
Scrap
wood
is
wood
in
the
shop
that
is
not
specific
for
a
project.
It
may
be
new
and
leftover.
(bought
6
boards
for
a
bench
but
only
needed
5)
My
purchased
hardwood
is
from
Urban
Lumber.
They
process
local
trees
like
Elm
and
Oak
into
usable
wood
Non-local
hardwood
is
purchased
as
remnants
when
possible,
usually
from
local
makers,
or
Windsor
Plywood
Wood
products
have
defects,
and
multiple
items
will
rarely
be
identical
-
Where
can
I
touch
your
wood
myself?
Available
through
Online
sales
and
local
Markets
only.
No
shop
visits,
generally.
