Dear Listers.........
there's always the old standby for fresh wood..... Linseed Oil.
Here in UK the US military surplussed hundreds of pint-cans of the stuff a
few years ago. It stays tacky for a while but eventually dries to a good,
non-sticky finish and as far as I know, it doesn't have any noxious additives.
Highly recommended for spade and axe shafts.
