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.
