Winter down time equals a salt bowl


Jim created a gift for me.  I keep kosher salt in a ziplock container near the stove for cooking and he decided to make me a wooden salt bowl to use instead.  I love it.


After he made the salt bowl, just like the cutting boards there needs to be a rubbing of mineral oil. 


You can see the grains and color pop out.


This task reminds me of watching photos come to life in a photo dark room when you dip them into the last chemical.  The true color beauty of the wood comes to life.


It dried over night and put it to use the very next day.  Thanks honey!  :)
