[Woodworkers] Protecting wood

[Clint Warren via Woodworkers]

I had no idea what a sauerkraut pounder looked like so I bing-ed it. Seems like it is basically a club. Which is probably why you could use pretty much any wood and it would last a long time with a bit of care.


On our walnut island I just doused it with mineral oil until it stopped soaking in.  Granted it doesn't have the moisture contact your pounder will, but I think that would work. A man addicted to sauerkraut would probably want to have more than one pounder on hand anyway.
