I was surprised at how pleasurable and satisfying this activity was! I love seeing my wooden utensils looking so happy!

I used walnut oil. It was 60 deg F in the house, so I turned the oven on (lowest setting 170) for a few minutes, then turned it off and set the items in there so they might warm up and soak up the oil better. It seemed to work, but I don't have anything to compare it with!

I plan to share some oil with my friend who hasn't done this to her wooden utensils before.

Thank you for reviewing this BB!

BB submission for oiling kitchen woods.
They all needed it, so there's more than six including the two handles for a spatula and a brush.

I used walnut oil. Anyone know why it's considered best?

Walnut oil is very uncommon here, so I used organic flax oil instead.

I used Walnut Oil, and "sanded" the items first with a scrubber sponge (that was new information to me.)
