How do I care for my Myrtlewood Bowls?

To care for your oil finished items:
Your oil finish salad bowls can be hand washed and hand dried. Do not put in a Dishwasher or soak in the sink.

Do not use your wood salad bowls to store moist food in. After dinner place leftovers into tupperware or other container for storage.

Wipe clean and occassionally re-oil. We recommend a light coat of mineral oil/beeswax, hand rub in and then polish with a soft cloth.

If the grain raises after exposure to water, sand lightly 180-320 grit or finer sandpaper, and then reoil. We recommend our Beeswax/Mineral Oil Finish. Lemon Oil, Orange Oil, Walnut Oil will also work. If you use salad oil be sure to wipe off any excess so that it doesn't turn rancid.

If your oil finished items become damaged you can sand them with 180-320 sand paper and #0000 steel wool and then reoil to get them back to new.

To care for your semi gloss lacquer finished items:
Ocassionally dust with a soft cloth.

Although not necessary you can polish with a little hard paste wax or lemon oil, or touch up with a light spray of Deft Semi-Gloss.

If it becomes water spotted or damaged, you can sand lightly with 320 sandpaper and #0000 steel wool then touch up with a light spray of Deft Semi Gloss or Beeswax/ Mineral Oil

To care for your gloss finished items:
Ocassionally dust with a soft cloth.

To care for your gloss finished salad bowls:
Wipe clean and/or hand wash and hand dry.

Do not put in a Dishwasher or soak in the sink. Do not use to store moist foods.

With care, your myrtlewood should last for generations.

Is your wood harvested sustainably?

Sustainable Forestry is a concept we highly value. We use mostly wood that has fallen naturally or was fallen for reasons other than harvesting the wood. If someone calls to try to sell us a myrtlewood tree I ask them if it is a healthy tree? If it is, I tell them to please let it continue to grow. We don't encourage or promote falling beautiful trees. The tree is worth more standing than it is if fallen. The highly prized color and figure continues to improve with age.
We are able to salvage enough wood from logs that are already down or was otherwise destined for the chip yard or paper mill. Fortunately you can make lots of small things from one tree. And the tree will regenerate from its stump as long as it is not sprayed with herbicides.

Can you custom cut a piece of wood to my specifications?

Some pieces of wood can be custom cut, planed, edged, and or surfaced to your specifications + - 1/4". We have a minimum set up charge of $50 for any custom work. We add $50/hr to the cost of the piece chosen to be cut.
