I have some bowls that I turned and used mineral oil when sanding works great to keep the dust down and makes for some fast sanding as well. To my question can I put anything over the top of these bowls the oil is taking on a dry look although I realize mineral oil never really dries. varnish or schellac thanks for helping out.

Shellac shoal work just fine.

Shellac should work just fine. (Damned autocorrect)

Shellac would make a good barrier coat or finish over the bowls however you need to wash as much of the mineral oil out of the wood as possible first. Lacquer thinner would be a good solvent to use. I would recommend in the future if you are going to use a film finish over your turned wood that you don't use mineral oil on it.

Thanks guys For small utility bowls that people know that they have to maintain MO works great. Just had some bowl that have been around awhile and need a face lift was not sure if you could just go over the top without it being a royal pita.
