i have cut out several pendants with most being from walnut and im curious if i should put any type of finish on them or leave them natural? im thinking tung oil?

what do you all think?

I would do the danish oil too. It will help make the color of the wood pop and give it a finished look. Share some pics???

I agree with Mike. I use Fornby's Toung oil on the ones I make. It really does bring out the color well & looks more like wood & not plastic. Yes, lets see them !
