I am turning some peppermills for Christmas gifts for my sons. I am

using that for something that will see at lot of hand contact while
cooking and drinking.

Any suggestions? TIA

I'd go with something like Formby's Tung Oil Finish. It's not pure Tung
Oil, but an oil/varnish mix (or I wiping varnish - can't remember
which). Goes on thin so you can build the amount sheen you want, but
dries hard so hand contact shouldn't be an issue...
