Title: This is more of a carved wood piece but I do have a quartz crystal in the knot.

We have a type of scrub brush alk over our land that is mahogany so I use it. Just finished today. It was yo dark with just linseed oil so I put a glaze on it with a silver pinch bail that was handmade a longtime ago.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170702/248325d3be883298179e4332de4bdf85.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170702/1825512edac6414f88437982a1a3a438.jpg)

Very creative.
Will that combo withstand water and sweat?

I asked, because I put linseed oil and glaze on wooden surfaces at my cabin that I'm renovating.
Yet mold started to form on some of them.
Ok, the cabin was practically in the clouds for he past 3 months, so humidity rarely was below 100%, but still.

Ahh, well sanded it down well after the linseed then put it under a heat lamp. After several hours I then put on a triple glaze that is used for mixed media and jewelry.

Heating would be a bit a problem.... :) Don't have water or electricity up there.... :)
Will continue to try different things, till I find something that works..... :)
