So I decided to use oil since i liked the warm color. I tried 2 oils and you can see the comparison. (Im still studiing so i cannot afford to by everything and trie it). BVut thank you so much for all your input and ideas. 🙂
I did find soime things interesting tho. (My results arnt really scintific, since thickness of shavings and so on weary)
I used a normal oil bought in a german store called Hornbach wood oil, wich claimes to be colorless however “colorrefreshing” and on the other oine i used 100% linseedoil (brand Nordicare).
The linseedoil (on the right) was mostly brighter however for some woods (cherry and walnut) it was darker.
I think the Hornbach oil has some color on its own, so all the wood kontrasts ended up a little closer together, whilst the linseedoil didnt really channge the coler as much, why i think darker woods stayed darker, whilst brighter Woods stayed brighter.
As a remark, it isnt boild linseed oil, since i wasnt sure if thet would be to flammeble on the shavings.So that are my results. After some time i realiced, that i liked both 🙂
I hope you like my findings and maby you have some comments 🙂
Greetings

Also de orientation of the shaving makes a diffrence since one side has a shine to it whilst the other side doesnt (Thats becaus of graun direction and also the sinde wich gets cut. So there is a lot that goes into it 😀 . I do also like the oil (and the easy of applieing it) so i think ill stick to it but maby trying out an oil that darkens as little as possible.
Thank you for all your Ideas Tho 🙂7 November 2021 at 3:46 pm #735663First of all thank you (and the others 😀 ) The thing wioth the flexibility is actually a bit of a problem. I tried using spray on varnisch, but ist was kind of brittle and felt wierd. The problem with wax i think is the application, since i cannot put pressure oin the shavings 😀 thats why i used oil so far, The Idea with water based finishes i something i havnt looked into yet. Maby there is some flexible easy to applie finish.
Tha lamp is the hole thing. But its with white LEDs so not really warm 🙂Tanks again
