Do these ship with the unfinished handles (No sealant or oil) or are they finished? I would like to do my own linseed oil finish.

there seemed to be a light coating on the wood. I must say that the handle did not seam to need any sealant. however I twiked the handle by using 220 grit ,very lightltly then used two coats of lnsead oil .don't worry about the handle, its good out of the box. check you tube for info on fine tuning the edge. i have used this tool all winter and am very pleased with it. have fun . bill

They do come with a very light finish with a "Husqvarna" stamp on one side and two universal symbols on the other side noting that you shouldn't use this axe as a hammer or a wedge. I sanded the handle for about five minutes and brought it down to the wood where I then applied a few coats of linseed oil which absorbed well. Looks great without the lettering and symbols on the handle and beautiful linseed oil finish.

They have a very light flat finnish that is easly sanded off if you want to linseed oil it.

Yep, the handle is bare wood that is incredibly hard & wonderfully smooth. A beautiful axe!

I doubt they are treated. They are the freshest seeds with natural oils. I have been happy with them. Try a 4 pound bag.

These are finished, not raw wood. You would have to strip them first to stain them.

They come with a finish on them. Not sure if is varnish or laquer or what but you'd have to sand it off to stain it.

They have a rubber type coating on them. Maybe soft. I love these handles because your grip will not slide. Great brushes!

It comes in birch. I ordered these in the black / brown color though and painted them white. I just primed them (using Zinsser 1-2-3), painted them white, and sealed them (using Minwax polychrylic water based sealer) and they turned out great.

Yes, it is unfinished. I like the natural look so I used tongue oil to preserve the natural look.

Mine is unfinished but sanded so well, I hadn't even really noticed. The wood is very nice.

The canisters are completely finished with a high liqueur shine, what you see is what you get. The wife wipes hers on occasion just to keep them shiney shiney but that's a woman thing. The only problem we had with them is the air tight seal on the sugar canister (2nd biggest) was installed improperly and really needed to be replaced but I straightened it up the best I could and it seals air tight and it actually looks good, if I do say so myself. You won't go wrong buying these there great and look great. I also purchased my wife all the copper I could, salt & pepper shaker, cookie jar and kitchen tool canister etc. They all look great. Hope this helps. The canisters are completely finished with a high liqueur shine, what you see is what you get.

Ainslee, you misunderstood my comments. I don't ship the mugs I placed an order and received the mugs. Because I am very happy with them I give them a high rating and wrote a very favorable review. I received them a while ago so I don't remember how they were shipped but they came through fairly quickly, without sustaining any damage. If you're looking to buy the mugs I highly recommend them.

They're still perfect. It took me years to work out my etching issues (now use Trader Joe's phosphate-free powder w/my softened water). Also, part of the problem was my prewash routine (used wrong tool to prewash). Feel confident w/the product, I am!

I emailed Fletchers' Mill to ask the same thing before I bought it. Here was their answer:Our muddlers are untreated/unfinished. You could season it with mineral oil from time to time if you want but we don't do anything to it. It is raw maple that has been kiln dried to prevent cracking or warping.

I didn't stain but I painted them. I do believe they would come out very nice. Very good quality for a reasonable price. Enjoy

Yes, they each have a hole in the end of the handle. You will not that they are held together with a plastic clip in the picture. That clip pops off and can be discarded. I love my set. I store mine in a stack in my cabinet, but like your idea about hanging them up. I measure with mine and often use the various sizes for dipping. This is my second set. I broke the handle of the largest one after years of use. I was so happy to locate the new set I ordered.

I'd say so. They are completely unfinished and could easily hold an oil or stain.Hope that is helpful.

They will look buffed or scratched almost immediately, just like the cloudy finish that I'm told comes from cooking with salt. It does not hamper their utility. They are the best pans I have ever used as well as the most expensive.
