I lightly heated these with a small hand held propane torch. The barrels were warm to the touch but would not burn you. David

I'm just pausing over how to finish now really...wonder what others do...I've used hard beeswax in the past, my mate Doug found loitering here sometimes, has suggested a canuba based wax these days is good.

Then I rub them down with a clean rag and apply Watco Natural Oil finish on lightly and it preserves them well.
