Review on 🌰 Andrew Pearce Walnut Wood Oil Bowl Conditioner 8oz - Wooden Bowl & Cutting Board Oil by Susan Oliver

Received a few months ago and have only used a few items: Stainless Steel Spatula with Wooden Handle: The handle has lost most of its finish over the decades except for a few small areas that almost looked looks like raw wood. After one application of this oil it not only has a subtle sheen but also a beautiful light brown color with an attractive contrasting dark brown veining. Looks brand new! Whisk with wooden handle: I think he's about fifty years old. Like the spatula, the handle looked fairly worn. After a single application, it is dark brown again with a slight sheen. It is used more often than the spatula and looks like it will need another use soon. Wood Handled Wire Cutters: I don't think this handle ever had a finish - it looked like pine wood sanded to a smooth finish. After a swipe, it's still raw pine (maybe a half tone darker than before), but it now looks protected. If I spilled, say, cherry pie filling on it, I seriously doubt the juice would stain it. Wooden Step Stool: It has been in heavy use for over forty years and has lost much of its top finish. I went over it thoroughly with a damp cloth, let it dry overnight and then applied a coat of oil. When the light hits it in a certain way, it's clear which areas were still painted and which weren't, but now the color is well balanced. I didn't do the legs because they still looked pretty good, but now they look a bit messy compared to the top, so I'll probably do those too. However, please note that this product is actually intended for wooden products such as cutting boards, cooking spoons, etc. This is not very suitable for furniture or floors that are prone to more wear and tear. There are other products that are much more resistant to wear and tear, but these tend to contain oils that are unsafe for food, such as: B. tung oil, and should therefore not be used on cutting boards or kitchen utensils. looks like a walnut but will certainly make almost any worn wood look like it was left in fabric) and dangerous (because such "linseed oil" can cause spontaneous combustion). Cloth can be useful when remodeling a large cutting block, for example, but please read and follow the appropriate precautions carefully. In the projects above, I have dipped a chopstick in the oil, dripped it onto the item and run one or more fingers (which I immediately washed thoroughly afterwards) over the surface. I've also learned to wash my countertop thoroughly with lots of soap once I'm done so I don't create extra shiny spots (do you believe in Corian?).
