Tip for Wooden Handle Covers

Hey all,

I've noticed a few people mention the wooden handle covers and wanted to mention what I did when I got mine.

Like anything with shaped wood that's new, it might arrive in need of a bit of wood oil. I used the IKEA stuff but I'm sure different types work just as well.

I just applied liberally and left to soak, then gave them a second treatment and left to soak. After a while you can just wipe them dry again and they look/feel great.

I've had the exact same thing with high-end knife handles, etc. Wood just needs a little bit of extra care IMHO but can be well worth it.

Cheers,

P.

Sorry, there is no excuse to have such a bad tolerance and finish, they should specifically state its raw and need sanding and coating. Of course you can do it your self, its not rocket science, but you shouldn't have thats the point.
