Aren't those olive wood utentils gorgeous!
Craft Week continues! I refurbished the wooden spoons this morning.
They were looking a little dull, tired and dried out. We all get that sometimes ... Time for a spa day!
The recipe is remarkably simple:
- 2 oz. beeswax
- 5 oz. mineral oil
- 3 drops lemon essential oil
Melt the beeswax (with 1 oz mineral oil) in a jar in a pan of simmering water, approximating a double boiler. When the wax has melted, add the rest of the mineral oil. Let that melt and mix.
Now it's easy to condition your wooden spoons! Just rub it in ...
This also seems to work for the plastic pot handles, that can also get tired and dried out.

Those ARE gorgeous spoons! I've never done anything more than liberally rub straight mineral oil on my ordinary wooden spoons. I can see how the addition of bees wax would make for a more durable long lasting finish. Had not thought I could spruce up those ordinary pot handles with a little oil too!
