However, over the years I have seen a few of my older projects and have been disappointed with the greying discoloration caused by the sun and or oxidation. I have mentioned it to past clients and family members that maybe they should just keep my work in the closet... Nobody really liked that solution. I have tried several different finishes with minor to fair success. At the bottom of this blog I have added a picture of my latest cedar vase that was soaked in peanut oil for four months prior to final turning and finish. My newest test is to use a solution that has been used over the centuries to soak violin boards. Praying it works. Time will only tell. Thoughts?  <div>Sincerely, Ryan</div><div><a href="http://woodturning.sanctuarytree.com/">http://woodturning.sanctuarytree.com/</a><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3354843114283064425-2851911781421292470?l=woodturningsanctuarytree.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>woodmasterbartletthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05830671327536167671noreply@blogger.com4
