This was my first time turning boxwood. I wanted to upgrade the handle of my espresso machine’s portafilter. I’m really pleased with how smooth it turned out! Should I coat the boxwood, or is it fine as is?

I like the mineral oil idea! It’ll help protect the wood while keeping the pretty light color. I feel like rich dark wood colors get all the love, but the creamy pale wood colors are really beautiful too and it’s nice to see them get some love!
One could also use any number of other non-staining finishes, but mineral oil keeps it simple
