Protect and enhance your kitchen woodworking projects with Clapham’s Salad Bowl Finish. This food-safe blend is designed for everyday use on items that see frequent handling and washing. Made in Canada, it combines food-grade beeswax from the Peace River Valley, carnauba wax, and mineral oil to nourish wood, protect it from moisture, and leave a soft, lustrous sheen.
This finish brings out the natural colour, grain, and character of the wood without looking glossy. It’s gentle enough for children’s wooden toys and cribs, yet durable enough for bowls, boards, and countertops. Many wood artists also choose it to finish their artwork because of the warm, natural look it delivers.
What is this finish used for?
It’s suitable for salad bowls, butcher blocks, cutting boards, wooden spoons, kitchen countertops, and other wooden items used in food preparation and serving.
A 200 g / 7 oz jar covers approximately 400 square feet.
What kind of finish does it leave?
Clapham’s Salad Bowl Finish protects the wood while leaving a subtle, natural-looking sheen—rich and warm, with enhanced grain definition rather than a high gloss.
How do I apply it?
Apply a thin coat by hand using your fingers, a cloth, or a paper towel. Drying time varies depending on temperature and humidity, but the piece can be used immediately. Once dry, buff lightly to bring up a soft shine.
How often should it be reapplied?
Reapply whenever the surface looks dry or dull to maintain protection and appearance.
