Salve

Carving is hard on your hands, particularly in the winter. Callouses tend to crack and then become quite painful.

I find that treating each spoon as I make it, and especially heating it over a stove burner as I smear in extra beeswax/jojoba oil mixture, really helps eliminate this problem. If I waited to treat my spoons in batches, I wouldn't get nearly the benefit. It's the daily habit that helps.

Turns out that's true of many things.
