Uhh that's made of wood not butter

This looks like a fun project

What tools did you use, and what oil did you finish with?

Sloyd and hook knife. Not finished in the photo but will use walnut oil

I made some wooden butter knives about a year ago, have been meaning to make more. Mine aren't quite as fancy as your but something about the feel of the wood in your hand is so nice

Beautiful. I really need to upgrade the old poop knife.

[-] TheWonderfool@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Absolutely gorgeous!

What kind of oil do you treat them with? Or do you let the butter do it naturally?

i'm not them, but i'd use a few layers of mineral oil, tung oil if i could get my hands on it. finish with beeswax. i'd worry about butter spoiling in the wood too much to use it as the primary finishing fat
