Thread: Stone Holder

Nice walnut stone holder!

To me it just seems a bit too much work for just a stone holder. Submerging the wood for a month in linseed oil seems a bit excessive. Boiled linseed oil might have been better, I think that dries faster and harder.

I've used expanding foam before and will try to post images and a description later this morning. It works well.

Cheers, Steve

Each to their own I suppose.
The linseed was boiled.
For me it was not too much work and I enjoyed the process.
A professional craftsman advised me to soak the wood for a month to get maximum penetration, giving it maximum waterproofing.
The end result is a special stone holder for a special stone.
Time and effort does pay
