The Baerreis thread

[GrowlingCupcake]

Any wood that was originally finished with with oil should be re-oiled now and then. I seem to remember Furnival having oiling instructions in her shop, either in the listings or about section.

I think there's also a wax coating on it. Would I still need to?

I took a look at my one Baerreis fork, and it feels waxed to me. Oil over wax won't adhere unless the wax has worn off. I checked their etsy shop, but they don't seem to say what materials they finish with. Carnauba wax is a really common finishing wax, I think Jetter uses it. If you think the Baerreis needs to be refinished, I'd go with a wax, but it is probably fine unless it is showing signs of wear.
