Saw some stuff at a woodwork show a while back i'll ask round see if anybody else knows I have tung oil here if you want to try it I think most oils will be affected by the temperature of what you put in the mug

Lovely bowl Steve Like the size of it

Have you tried osmo Wood protector I think its 4006.A coat of that first seeps right into the wood

Mill it into 3" and 4" planks and sell to woodturners if you turn it into blanks it will split

When I turn bowls which are likely to come apart, I turn the outside then wrap it in tape to hold it together until the inside is turned .Then take the tape off and finish the bowl stops you getting hit with bits flying off

Do something with it quick.It splits really easily

Wipe on with a clean rag <not too generous,Little and often is best .Leave for a couple of minute and rub off the excess quite firmly After 2 or 3 coats Buff up with a lint free rag ,and don't be shy with the elbow grease
-
keep logs as long as possible ,short logs always split even when end sealed
-
The other trick is some 0000 wire wool with OSMO on and really polish hard

Once you have applied a thin coat wipe off the excess within 10 minutes If you buff up your board with a rag and a tiny amount of osmo it will come good

Round Hollow the inside out and turn a bowl to drop in the hollow if that makes sense

Apply with a rag or strong tissue leave 5 to 10 minutes and then wipe off the excess . After a couple of coats the final coat can be buffed up to the required sheen
