Its "finishing" the wood and "blackening" the pan. Seasoning is for food!

It works great for making wood butter!

That spider web grain is unique to the butternut tree. I have been making wood bowls for almost 30 years now. I quit using mineral oil and beeswax years ago. Main reason is the mineral oil offers little to no protection against water. It soaks in and then pretty much disappears. after a couple of days. The bees wax is very soft, and if there is any on the surface, it leaves finger prints. Choice of many bowl turners are walnut oils and carnuba/palm wax. The walnut oil soaks in and then cures and hardens. I prefer the stuff from The Doctor's Woodshop. Only affiliation I have with him is I have found his product to be excellent. There are a couple of others. The salad walnut oils in the grocery store can vary a lot, some cure, and some don't. The walnut oil is heat treated to break down all the proteins that can cause nut allergies. Oh, last coat of oil/wax is applied with a heat gun.

Can I still oil it? I had no idea they needed to be oiled
