Posted a while back about being given a lather and a ton or so of reclaimed wood.
Been playing around with it, and made some simple paper towel holders.

So what's so special? That wood is straight off the lathe, with a 120 grit sanding. No finish, oil or anything, and it shines like that :)
More crazy, it was originally a painted shelf in a Kindergarten. 50 years ago it was probably the cheapest wood the builder could source. Now, supply is VERY limited, and it's like gold.
And the nail hole proves it's recycled ;)
Nice!
Yea, that's amazing, closed cell wood at its finest, a little sealer and its' a done deal aye?
