Restore & Refinish Wood Bowls

Woodwork is expensive but made to last long if cared well for. I’ve found a few great items at thrift stores or had some of my own pieces that needed some TLC. Here’s my process for ones that need a complete refresh!

**since people tend to get spicey about branding I just wanted to clarify: I don’t claim to have made these items, I preserve any original signatures or branding, I don’t sell them as my own work, they are all for my home use, if I use my branding iron after refinishing I will go in with my wood burning pen and put “refinished by”

Thanks!

Love how you've shared your whole process. Great idea for restoring thrift store bowls. You've clearly got a great system down!

I really enjoyed your video and process. How can I take care of bowls I already have that need periodic care? Would I use Odie’s Oil Finisher?

What was the name of the final product you use that creates the food-grade water barrier? I believe you said something_butter? I recognize your use of the Howard Products for the beginning treatment—I LOVE their Feed-N-Wax Wood Polish & Conditioner; it's the BEST! That being said, I'm going to trust your recommendation on the final step; oh, and also because you know how to properly use/conserve water when working outside. THANK YOU!

What grade sand paper are you using? I am not making a dent with my mouse sander and fine grade sand paper.

How do you know if it's a hand-carved bow worth thousands and you're not destroying it?

What is the brand name of the Hand Sander? Question: I understand that you Refinished the wood bowl but did not carve the bowl; How does that give you the right to claim the bowl as your creation? I have a multitude of wood bowl of different size, I will be doing designs on them and I intend to Brand them: Art Designs By: (my name). Great Tutorial!

Branding it as your own is mind blowing. You only refinished it. Your branding is OFFENSIVE.
