You're sooo sweet!
I too, love what Pam did with her monkey pod bowl. The bowl was just begging for a candle!!
Way to go Pam, I pinned your pretty Christmas bowl.

I love how you updated your find.

Even if you hadn't fancied it up, the decorations and candle are so festive and heartwarming. Great idea. Thanks.

I have had one of those salad bowl sets with the large bowl and salad bowls for years. I used it for years and always kept it deeply oiled which prevents the yuckies. lol. I have not used it in a long time except to use the bowl for holding potpourri in the fall. It is an odd shape so doesn't look like a bowl and is perfect for that.

I hope you have a wonderful night- xo Diana

Leaving it natural with the gold highlights is spot-on perfect. I have several thrift store wooden bowls in line for makeovers. I've just been using them as is for now, but like you...I don't eat from them! Ha, ha! Great find and upcycle!

I promise that no one has ever gotten sick, or died, from eating out of a clean monkey pod bowl.

Wooden serving bowls are extremely popular all over the world and I would hate to see them disappear due to misfounded fear.

Enjoy them!

And I can always count on a vintage lesson of some sort. Thanks for the info on the monkey bowl. I've always been drawn to them because of the beauty of the wood. What a fantastic repurpose of this classic beauty!

Of course, I'm always partial to a touch of gold on natural wood, and you're right- the dark paint layer does give it more of a patina look! Fantastic Christmas decor!
