My goal with every piece is to make the surfaces of the various materials involved inviting to the touch. I use only natural oil finishes with 0% VOC that are food safe, and more importantly, allow you to feel the actual wood when you touch it rather than a plastic coating. Plaster and brass will patina with time, as they should.
