Heirloom Walnut Salad Bowls 🇺🇸

Handcrafted by Michigan Artisans 🇺🇸, Sign of the Bear's

Heirloom Wooden Salad Bowls

are made in America and intended to be an heirloom for generations.. Please

 Help your beautiful wooden bowls glow and age beautifully:

• These beautiful Heirloom Walnut Bowls' Color will deepen over time and with exposure to light.
• You can improve woods' lustre and protect them by oiling them with 
• mineral oil and/ or 
• beeswax  (both are *nontoxic   AND  * won't go rancid)
•  Any time your beautiful bowls * feel dry to the touch, or 
• look dusty, or 
• you feel the grain (they feel less smooth, when your fingers catch the grain a little, & they begin to feel a bit rough)
• it's time to oil them again 
• Your best tool to oil salad bowls is your hands-- unlike cloths, your hands won't absorb so much oil, and they will get nicely moisturized in the process
• Wood is absorbent -- like a paper towel, it 'wicks' moisture along its structure --- oil fills these gaps and keeps water from getting in. 

Care and Use tips:

• Always rinse + dry promptly... Be sure to flip your salad bowls upside-down to dry after using. 
• Never let water -- or salad dressing or other liquids - sit in a wood bowl for a long period of time.
• Never clean wood bowls or any wood product in the dishwasher. We recommend using only a little water and - when necessary - a small amount of mild unscented soap to clean your wood products, then hand dry promptly.
• Re-apply mineral oil and/ or beeswax any time your wood looks dry or dusty.

• looks dusty, or 
• you feel the grain (feels less smooth, when your fingers catch the natural ridges a little, & they begin to feel a bit rough)
• it's time to oil your wood again 
• the 'old school' recommendation was once a week for the first month, once a month for the first year-- but we find your eyes + hands are your best gauge for when your wood needs oil.

• unlike cloths, your hands won't absorb so much oil, and
