Hello all,

The first of my home-grown storage boxes is taking shape, and if I am
going to put any kind of finish on the inside surfaces, I should do it
soon.

It looks to me as though people typically finish the outside surfaces
and leave raw wood (poplar in my case) contacting the oily tooling. Is
that what you recommend? I am thinking of using an oil finish on the
outside.

Hi Bill:

My storage boxes are made out of popular. I use SAE 30 non detergent
motor oil on the outside and inside. Just rub it in.
