[TheForge] More Finishing Stuff

[Carl T]

Hey all
I have been making a pile of kitchen forks lately, and am wondering if
there is a good treatment for them that will prevent rust when they are
washed, but not affect the taste of the food. Oil-Blackening is out, since
it leaves black crud on anything, as is rustoleum since it will flake off
when run through a dishwasher repeatedly. I am wondering about maybe
finishing it with beeswax, since I don't remember that as having much
taste, but could be confused. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a Bunch.
Happy Hammering,
Carl Tappan
