Wood Care: Essential Tips and Maintenance for Wooden Items

Use your Shot Barrel only for plain spirits such as whisky, rum, tequila, etc. Other drinks can seep into the wood and spoil over time, so make sure to follow proper wood care tips. You may notice some seepage from the base – this is normal and unavoidable with wood. You need to drink faster... To clean your wooden item, simply rinse with warm water. Avoid using soap, as it will soak into the wood and affect the taste of your next drink.

When it comes to cleaning wooden bowls, avoid using strong detergents and NEVER place wooden items in the dishwasher. For proper wood care tips, do not leave wooden items to soak, as this can lead to warping. After cleaning, wipe items dry and leave them in a cool place to dry slowly—never on top of the AGA. If the finish on your bowl appears dull, consider applying a thin fresh layer of walnut or Tung oil, allowing it to dry for a week before polishing with a lint-free cloth. Remember, keeping them cool is essential for effective wooden item maintenance.
