Walrus polymerized linseed oil is a great all natural way to weather proof your tools handles. Free from chemical dryers found in most brands. Walrus is thick and likes to be worked into the wood. Let it dry and wipe off excess. You can give a light sanding to knock down any raised grain and treat again. Each coat will help build the finish. This will leave you with a silky smooth satin finish. Made in the USA.
