Ian's video...

 

https://youtu.be/zyTg_hfpNUM

I've watched that video but I don't think he uses the tokonole in it.  I just skimmed through it again and don't seem to see the product.  Do you know what minute marker he uses it?  Also, I'm interested in it as a burnishing agent, not a finish - so any first hand experience with it as a burnishing agent would be greatly appreciated.

Ian shows the Seiwa finish in this video, about 18 or 19 minutes in.  I'm pretty sure it's what is now called Tokonole.  I've used it and like it!

Thanks for that.  Do you use the clear one?  Any experience with the colored ones?  What advantages do you feel this has over water or glycerine soap as a burnishing agent?

When I bought, clear was all that they had.  It seems to do a good job, although I do sometimes use water/glycerine/beeswax still at times.  The Seiwa seems to seal the edge so that it doesn't readily accept dyes - but it does do a nice job.  Worth a try for sure!

Thanks for the info.  Aside from sealing it, do how do your results differ between the water/glycerine/beeswax approach compared to the tokonole?  Why do one vs the other?

I use this one. I bought it from Tandy. I like it!

It's the impresion you leave that counts.

The Tokonole looks more glass-like, while saddlesoap-beeswax is still shiny it's not quite as much.  If I want to dye the edge with tokonole, the dye needs to go on first and can get pretty dark, but it works.  And sometimes the choice comes down to what is close at hand and my mood at the time!
