   Hi Archibald,

   I have been using camelia oil as a lubricant and rust preventative on my chisels, planes, and hand saws for several years.

   The main reason I originally chose camelia oil is because, unlike petrolium-based oils, it will not interfere with finishing and it's non-toxic.

   Lots of camelia oil is sold in a bottle with a convenient spray nozzle. However, I recommend you use an applicator similar to the ones traditionally used by Japanese craftsmen, as spraying can be quite wasteful.

   Good luck,
