Been working on a replacement handle for my mini egg. I took a piece of red oak from Grumpy'sQ and took off the bark with my pocket knife and let it dry a little. I drilled a hole through it. Didn't want to wait on access to a drill press, so it got clamped to a table and I did it by hand. Not the straightest hole, but it'll do. I got some ss round stock from Thirdeye that will be bent later. Any recomendations on a finish? Just oil it or a laquer finish? Should I let it dry more before finishing?
