Care Instructions: This woodenware is finished with Tung Oil, made from the Tung Nut which is an edible nut so the finish is considered food safe, with the possible exception of those with nut allergies.

Avoid using your woodenware for liquids (chip dips, salsas, etc.) as this may affect the finish. To clean, wipe with a damp cloth or do a very quick hand wash in soap water and rinse, then dry right away. Never soak your woodenware in water and do NOT place in dishwasher (or microwave!) as this will likely damage or remove the finish from the wood.

If the finish wears over time, another light coat of Tung Oil is best but otherwise, you can use mineral oil (edible type from your drugstore) or another product suitable for a wood finish. An alternative to using oils is “Claphams Beeswax Salad Bowl Finish”. Apply a thin coat, allow some to dry and then buff with a soft cloth.

Tom Hedekar grew up under the tutelage of his father, a Danish Cabinetmaker so Tom’s wood projects display a unique Scandinavian touch as he works with the wood to bring out the best features of each piece. Tom is proud of sourcing the wood he uses from already downed trees and other sustainable sources. His love of wood took him from working in BC forests to a career in Professional Forestry. Tom became a Registered Professional Forester and spent most of his working career in education. He taught many college forestry courses, and his favourite lessons were always in the Tree ID and Wood Products courses.

Tom has been turning wood for 60 years and he currently leads the “Turners Group” in the Mid Island Woodworkers Guild. He has taught several wood turning courses for members of the Guild and enjoys sharing his turning skills and his love of the art, encouraging beginners to get started on the “most fun machine in the wood shop.”
