In reply to Kathleen. That sounds wonderful! I've done a cutting board with beeswax, but didn't think to use it on bowls!!!

In November, my mom had me take all of her wooden salad bowls and refinish them. I sanded them then put several coats of a beeswax product that is specifically for bread boards, cutting boards and wooden bowls. I did four coats of the wax, leaving each coat to dry 24 hours. She loves them and it made a great Christmas present for he. But I might try YOUR idea for myself!

Love the blue & gold paint job. Now, I want to know what you're going to do with the small bowls!!! Please share if you are making them into another project.

Pam,

I think I have the small bowls to this set. But not sure if I have the large bowl. If I do, it doesn't have a pedestal.

Super rescue and I love the colors too!

pinned, and sharing on Facebook.

The bowl is so elegant looking now. We had a set of teak salad bowls, which we used often when we had company. I should say we have them, because they still are around here somewhere. I also have a torn meniscus, which happened last September. I haven't done anything about it, because I didn't know who to see about it. It seems to have healed pretty much on its own. I had had my other knee operated on 14 years ago for the same problem. I don't think I want to go through that again.

love the colors you chose. and I would add, use a better brush. sponge brushes do not give you enough control.to get a smooth brushstroke free look.Purdy brushes are wonderful and come starting in 1" width. sand lightly after first coat, will look much more professional.

That navy blue is just dreamy with the gold and the lemons! So pretty!
