    Once I read this post, I knew I had to give my poor parched woodware some TLC. I got my hands on some beeswax, melted it at a 1:3 ratio with coconut oil, and got busy.

    Here's what my wood stuff looked like before I buttered 'em up:

    One spoon, halfway buttered:

    And after buttering:

    So am I late to the buttering crowd? How do you take care of your wood gear?

    I have about half a batch of this wonderful mix left over; would anyone local like to use the rest?

    And one final perk: my hands feel TERRIFIC! :D

    Hi,

    From reading the blog, you may want to keep your extra wax for yourself to refinish those wood objects over time.

    My wooden spoons take a beating. I am glad you offered this information, I will certainly make a batch for my battered bunch.

    Regards,
