How to Restore a Wood Bowl

[@umiturgutaswwsa]

Love that musics at the background.I usually watch your videos before ı sleep because it has a great relaxing effect on me.Great video man!

[@MartinWoodStudios]

🙏 thanks Ümit! I spend some time finding the songs I think fits the best, relaxing music and woodwork goes quite well together. Check out; Agnes Obel - Riverside. She's great

[@leahsandow9300]

How wonderful, to fix it for your wife.... then give it back to her for her Birthday!!?!..... That is such a wonderful gesture that is priceless. Brilliantly restored!

[@MartinWoodStudios]

Thank you Leah, it's now a gem in our house 😊

I just washed the old wood bowl that once belonged to my granny. She passed in 1982 but always kept her flour in it with along with a can which she used as a biscuit cutter and covered it with the metal top from a cooking pot. I can clearly remember her pulling the wood bowl out onto the counter to begin making her biscuits. Such great memories. I hope I can give it a shine as you did to the frankenbowl. It was gorgeous.

I love it when I get to read these kind of comments. Thank you Jay and I hope it turns out great!

[@loiswood3363]

Well, that was brilliantly done and you are one funny guy to watch! Frankenbowl to heirloom bowl. That will live on thanks to your loving care. Now, to work on my salad bowl..... Thanks for the great tips like using the sawdust as wood filler.

[@MartinWoodStudios]

Thanks for poppin by Lois, glad I could help :) sawdust, glue as woodfiller.... smaller cracks more fluid mass (more glue), bigger holes more sawdust (cockie dough).

[@StrongandFree]

That turned out great!!!

[@MartinWoodStudios]

Thanks! a good homemade woodfiller was essential for the fix.

[@kenuber4766]

She will love the bowl for her birthday! Great rescue job on the bowl !

[@MartinWoodStudios]

You are right, she is really happy about it and it's a lasting feeling. Thank you 🙏

Thanks P! U got those things I asked for in email?

[@heathermtaylor7683]

Absolutely loved this. Oak is my favourite. Thank you. The only question I had was answered in the comments so thanks again. Brilliant.

[@MartinWoodStudios]

Thank you Heather. Love that you took the time to research the comments. Live well :)

Güzel bir geri dönüşüm oldu 🙏🙏

[@devtrap1906]

Very nice! Was that first coat at 10 minutes a sanding filler or some kind of wax?

[@MartinWoodStudios]

It was a foodgrade oilwax. It looked as if it did not penetrate the wood as well as I thought it would, so I went for the other one. Should have reversed the order in hindsight.

Beautiful!

[@nattuglaHK]

Så flott den ble! Du er flink!

[@MartinWoodStudios]

Ja, vi ble veldig fornøyde med denne! Takk 😀

[@sayfhamdi6355]

Great job on that masterpiece ! Wondering whats the brown material you used with the white glue? Because i have a very old one (~130yo) but with a bigger hole. Thank you

[@MartinWoodStudios]

It's sawdust from the sanding. It is how you make your own wood filler with the closest resemblance to the item you are working on. Best of luck!

[@francinarichardson1238]

What oil products do you use? What kind of oils specifically? Thank you, your project is just what I was looking for.

[@MartinWoodStudios]

yeah, you won't get the products I use in your country and it's not important that you do. It all depends on your use of the bowl. Here are some links for oil and wax... remember x2 oil (dry inbetween) and then apply wax (the buff the wax).

[@little_misscrafty]

Hi a friend gifted me with a large bowl that appears to have been carved from one piece of wood, it is very heavy and large, but is water stained and discoloured in few places, and has paint splatters as well. I would like to restore it, do you have any advise where to start? Thank you 😊

[@MartinWoodStudios]

Same as in the video? 😉

[@pattymarkie]

I have a similar project to do. I want to use my giant wood bowl for food. Salads, bread making etc. What food-safe oil and/or wax do you recommend? Thank you from California.

[@MartinWoodStudios]

I would be super careful and go for oils I could eat. Coconut oil or something... Beeswax... you could check out this I found: www.amazon.com/Natural-Beeswax-Wood-Conditioner-Polish/dp/B00GGPKRZ6 - I don't know this product but looks good. Probably have to apply it more often than other "non-edible" oil/wax.

[@pattymarkie]

@@MartinWoodStudios thank you very much, I appreciate your assistance! Patty

[@karolsartoasis4815]

Hi, I just came across your video today when I was looking for a video about restore fruit bowl. What were the two products you put on the bowl in the end? Are they a product that food can be placed on to?

[@MartinWoodStudios]

Hello! I wanted to use food grade but this wood was so far gone I had to use something else. I answered a Mary Patricia in the comments with alternative foodgrade options. Best of luck!

[@karolsartoasis4815]

@@MartinWoodStudios Thanks very much. I will check that out.

[@crissuy8780]

What kind of oil or wax did you use?

[@MartinWoodStudios]

First I tried a random foodgrade combined oilwax. When I saw the wood did not take it very well I used a tungtree oil and a woodwax from chestnut (company).

[@crissuy8780]
