Care info
Although the finish used for this piece is safe for light contact with food, the presence of the large inclusion should be considered before using it for wet foods, salads etc, as the inclusion can trap moisture or food particles and make it challenging to clean.
Wood can warp and continue to change shape over the life of the object.
Avoid leaving liquids sitting in the bowl, do not microwave or place in the dishwasher.
Do not let allow fruit to decay in the bowl.
Clean with a damp cloth after use. Very occasional applications of a neutral oil such as sunflower oil will help preserve the wood.
Otherwise, using it as a salad bowl will both protect the wood through contact with oils, and over time develop a patina.SHIPPING INFO
