Making small items from Lignum Vitae to be hand held. Thinking of putting a bit of walnut oil finish on them and buff 'em out, but this wood is so oily in it's own right it may be "gilding the lily". No food contact, but a lot of hand holding, so a film finish probably wouldn't work. If anyone here has worked with this wood, your experiences would be appreciated. Any finish suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
