      I could see that for spoons, but I'd still be inclided to use the wax on things like salad forks, etc.
      BTW, I've made my own cutting board wax... What I used in the past is 50% beeswax, and 50% food-grade mineral oil. But I imagine the kind of oil you used would work just as well.
      It's stimply a matter of heating the beeswax until it melts, pour in the oil, and stir. I just keep it in a glass jar or whatever.

    So one little tip to save money is when you pull the spoons out of the oil set a couple pieces of wood across the open container and let the access oil drip back into the container. Saves you money on oil and rags when wiping them off.

    I once took a car repair class while in high school and one of the things the instructor taught me is to always use latex(or similar) gloves when feeling the material after sanding. He said that when you keep passing your hand over the item you're sanding to see if it's smooth, the small particles end up filling the pores in your hands and then everything starts to feel smooth when they are not. We were doing body work on cars but I think it applies to this too.

      They really are nice for quick customization. I had someone contact me today to do a little engraving job. It took less than 30 minutes total and she helped me get the design exactly how she wanted it. I even went through Dafont to get the perfect font that she wanted. The actual engraving time was just under 5 minutes. But I think the 'lesson' along the way will translate into more work in the future.
