[TheForge] Finish on a fork

[Williams, Mark E. (Math & Computer Science)]

I just put a finish on a fork. Rubbed it down well with a scotch-brite
pad. Then put a coating of veggie oil on with a paper towel. Actually
did it twice because the first towel cleaned the dust off from the
scotch-brite pad. I put it in a 350 degree oven for an hour or so. A
dark grey finish resulted.

I did like you guys said.  I coated my fork in vegi-oil, wiped it off
and=20
threw it in the oven for half an hour at 400 deg.  When I pulled it out
it=20
had an amber colored film all over.  I went ahead and steel-wolled it
off=20
cause it was kind of tacky.  Should I have left this on or did I do
right? =20
It feels smooth now, I dont know, never done this before.
