Care for your wooden food-safe bowl
Your bowl is finished with food-safe oil finish and/or bees wax. This fine, oil finish lets you see the unique, natural character of the wood. This finish also serves as the ideal original finish for your bowl, allowing it to achieve a patina that only comes with repeated use of the bowl over time. This patina will make your bowl even more beautiful every year, for years to come.
Wash in mild soapy water and towel dry. Do not soak or place in the dishwasher. It is worthwhile occasionally treating it to a wipe with light walnut oil or vegetable oil, especially if the wood starts to appear dry. Always remember that, although made from properly seasoned and dried wood, your wooden bowl can still “set” so avoid exposing it to sudden changes of humidity or temperature.
Oiled bowls, which are exposed to air and sunlight, will darken over the years – lighter coloured bowls will darken more dramatically. This is how a beautiful patina is created like that seen on bowls which have been passed down through generations. It will add to the beauty and character of your bowl.
