Caring for your Bowl
Make sure you clean your Bowl, after every use. You can wash by wiping down with hot soapy water, make sure you scrub the Bowl well. Do not submerge or place in dishwasher, as this will crack or warp. Leave it to dry by standing up, so the air circulates all around the Bowl and dries evenly.
Every few weeks, depending on use, just re-oil your Bowl. We suggest a food safe mineral Bowl oil, such as the one available from Ikea. Do not use vegetable, nut or fruit oil, as these will cause a bacteria build up. Re applying oil is easy. Just pour about 5ml of oil onto the Bowl and rub over both sides, using a circular motion, make sure every edge and end is oiled evenly.
Why buy wood?
Plastic is not only a hazard to the environment but did you know that plastic actually harbours bacteria more than any other material, as it is porous. They suck up stains and melt on heat contact. Plastic should be replaced every few years, while wood lasts a last time.
Wood is a material that nature has invested in. It is durable, hard wearing and has a natural antibacterial property.
A beautiful tactile hand turned Bowl, d made from English Oak wood. Oak is one of the most sacred trees, it symbolises strength, truth, protection, authority, prosperity and bravery.
Oak carries the energy of kingship and wise rule, personal sovereignty, authority, power, protection, sealing or opening doors, endurance, and invocation of wisdom, fertility, and abundance. The Druids associated the oak with the Wren. Closely aligned with the elements Earth, Water, and Spirit, the Oak is considered to be the most powerful and the most sacred to the Druids. Wizards consider this the most amplified wood to use in spells that work with time and counter spells. Oak brings vitality and long life and Oak magic inspires bravery, presence, leadership skills, prosperity, and strength “Mighty oaks from little acorns grow” goes the quote.
This tree inspires us to be strong in body, mind and spirit. It is a sacred and revered tree representing endurance, power, protection and authority.
