Several months ago I purchased an antique dough bowl with some serious patina for only $5 at an estate auction. After doing some internet research and getting some recommendations from friends on Facebook I decided to try Bee’s Oil made by the Holland Bowl Mill to restore it. I started by cleaning the bowl with soap and water but did not submerge it. I let it dry out and then gave it a light over all sanding and then wiped it down to remove any dust. After that I just applied the Bee’s Oil and buffed it with a cloth according the the package directions. My bowl soaked up most of the oil because it was in such a sad state, but now I have a beautiful antique wood bowl with its natural beauty and patina restored.
Life is just a bowl of cherries, don’t take it serious, its mysterious. Life is just a bowl of cherries, so live and laugh and laugh at love, love a laugh, laugh and love.
