Confession: I recently bought a wooden spoon for $17 at Williams Sonoma -- I'd found a lost gift card from my wedding six years ago and wanted to use it. Now I don't know about you, but that's an expensive wooden spoon in this house. I figured I better take care of it -- likely this is my last wedding gift and I don't want it to end up looking like the pieces of driftwood that pass for my other wooden utensils. So I picked up this Tree Spirit All Natural Wood and Bamboo Oil at Crate and Barrel... what a difference this stuff makes.
I'm now obsessed with oiling down all the wooden items in my kitchen that have been long neglected. Wooden handles of knives, wooden salad bowls, IKEA cutting boards... it's like being reaquainted with old friends. They're now well-weathered and beautiful again. No more wood cracking and funny odors being absorbed. It's great stuff. One tip: don't use canola oil or some other cooking oil for this task, you'll get a rancid smell. Go buy the real food safe oil like this and treat those spoons right.
