I have doing a bit of yard work in the past week or so. Many of my shovels and picks have wood handles that have dried out and the wood grain is raised from being left out once in a while. I've been thinking of sanding down the grain and applying a few coats of linseed or danish oil to make them smooth again. Anyone out there have any tips? I don't want to coat them in polyurethane or spar varnish. I do like the workworn look to them, not the fresh off the rack look.
