If your spoons are rough and fuzzy, refurbish them with a grit sandpaper or a brand new steel wool pad.
Rub along the grain until the surface is completely smooth, then rinse well with water and immediately towel dry. Oil moisturizes wood and provides a protective barrier. Obviously, you want to use a non-toxic oil. Many people use mineral oil, but almond, walnut, and coconut oil also work. The important thing is to saturate the wood thoroughly and let it sit overnight, then rub away the excess. The frequency you need to care for wood spoons depends on how often you use them.
I wind up oiling mine every couple of weeks and do my wood cutting boards at the same time. OK, have a tiny drinking mug, carved from wood, untreated, I read your post to see how to care for this. I received my beautiful wooden spoons last year and followed your instructions for cleaning them. My wooden spoons gets used every day and still look like new.
Thanks for the great tips. What about old wooden rolling pins?? I still use mine occasionally, and do sand it, but should it be oiled?? Hello, I am a spoon carver, I have spent alot of time perfecting the finishing process of my spoons. First of all, after I finish sand a spoon or board I wet it down and allow it to dry which raises the grain. Then I resand, I do this process 3 to 4 times until the grain stops raising.
