Finishing

I prefer Watco Danish Oil.  For trivets I put some oil in a shallow pan and dip the trivet to coat the entire item.  Set it on a paper towel for about 15 minutes then wipe off all the excess.  2 coats would be sufficient as they aare not exposed to moisture.  If they get scratched just wipe on a little oil to repair.

I have been doing trivet for years and finish by dipping in mineral oil, then remove and let drip dry (I place them on something that will let them drip).  After they dry (couple of days), I buff them with a brown paper bag to get a little sheen.  Have one on my table that has been used for over 10 yrs without a problem.

It has been my experience that really nice ones usually wind up on the wall rather than the table even though I tell them that they are to be used.

they are NOT talking about mineral spirits but rather Mineral Oil.  Big difference here. and as far the the milky mineral spirits go..I would suggest that you leave that alone all together. I have found no one that likes that stuff. If you are going to buy mineral spirits, buy the common clear one
