I do use a lot of my turnings. I have a salad bowl set we have used for a couple of years now along with 6 walnut dinner plates we eat off of. I have several bowls we use to put like mashed potato's, veggies, salad, etc. on the table. When we have company they think that is just to cool. I use Mike Mahoney's walnut oil. We just wash them with warm water and rinse. Dry with a paper towel then let air dry before putting away. Every 12 to 18 months depending on use I re-oil. I do have a lot of turnings on the shelves to collecting dust but hopefully the Art Gallery will start selling a few things. Mike Mahoney told me at a demo every woodturner should have wooden utility items in the kitchen.

Never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.
