Today was supposed to be a golf day, but it rained. I walked back into the house from the golf course and looked around the kitchen for something to do and the first thing that caught my eye was the butcher block holder that stores all of my knives. It was getting a little tired and worn looking. I decided that it and probably all of the other items in the kitchen that were made of wood or had wooden handles were probably all in about the same state. There is an easy fix for that problem that will return the original luster to almost anything made of wood. Mineral oil does the trick, so I decided to round up all of the wooden items I could think of and give them a renewal. All it takes is a bottle of mineral oil, a rag and some paper towels to lay the items on while they dry.
Once you start to look you will be surprised at the number of items you come up with. We never put anything made of wood into the dishwasher but over time, even hand washing will dull the finish of salad bowls, knife handles and wooden spoons. Here are a couple of photos of what I worked on today.
As most of us are stuck in our homes right now, this is a great project to take up some time and really make a number of your tools look better and last longer.
