does this bowl have a sealant over the wood, or is it raw wood?

I have not seen the bowl itself, as I sent it as a wedding gift to my registered dietitian granddaughter who sent me a nice thank you. I doubt that it is raw wood, either. I would imagine it has an oil finish of some sort, like mineral oil which is great for keeping butcher blocks usable and cutting boards also. Judging from the picture, that would be my guess as the grain of the wood is very visible and if it was raw wood, the bowl would be lighter in color.

it seems kind of raw which gave it a little roughness feel to it. I used a nice wood oil I got for bowls and cutting boards at BBB. Now it seems to be nicer. It certainly does NOT have one of those shiny sealants that makes it almost seem like plastic! It is pretty nice. I would say I like it better every time I use it.

Pure wood. When I got mine I scrubbed it clean and let it dry overnight. The next day I coated it with pharmacy grade mineral oil and let it dry for 24 hours. It is absolutely gorgeous.

there seemed to be a light coating on the wood. I must say that the handle did not seam to need any sealant. however I twiked the handle by using 220 grit ,very lightltly then used two coats of lnsead oil .don't worry about the handle, its good out of the box. check you tube for info on fine tuning the edge. i have used this tool all winter and am very pleased with it. have fun . bill

It has been awhile since I opened the container. It did have a seal. I think it was a paper type. There is a packet inside to absorb moisture. No problem with caking.

I haven't had any trouble with the unfinished wood. I just dust the surface well with cornmeal before I put the pizza dough on it.

It is CLEAR Adhesive Sealant. We have taken steps to update the description. Sorry for the confusion.

Hi, it is actually made from burnt hardwood. It is 'food grade'. Some cheaper varieties aren't.

It is a very durable and good looking finish. Our end-grain cutting boards have really held up well. As for wooden bowls it really depends one how much wear you place upon the finish day in and day out. I would go with this or 100% Pure Tung Oil and some short of food safe wax finish. If you go with salad bowl finish route---make sure you wait a minimum of 72 hours for the product to cure.

Pure wood. I oiled it before using. Mine had a crack starting though, along handle. Glued with wood glue and has been fine.

I did not seal the wood and it has gone through several nights of rain. It gets wet but dries out. This is the second feeder by this company that I have and would not hesitate to buy their products again.

It's made from a glazed ceramic or pottery. It has a wooden lid. It seals good and looks great. We like it a lot. I would buy it again.

It's raw wood. You'll have to put on a primer and paint or a weather proofer.

The bowl I bought is made by Old Dutch and to the best of my knowledge is pure copper. My bowl also came with a small discoloration which doesn't affect using the bowl. The nature of copper is to discolor which can be removed with a good copper cleaner. I don't use my bowl very often so it is constantly developing a darkish coating.

It is not seal and enhance. It is charcoal colored caulk. I had to return it.

It is not coated or treated with anything. It's just maplewood. I treated mine with olive oil.

If you are talking about the inside of the solid bowl then....It looks like it, but can't swear to it...I just rinse and wipe it out with a dry towel...use it frequently, very happy with it. Have a Great Christmas if you Celebrate it...or Happy Holidays...

We have not stained the bowl. But its original finish is absolutely beautiful and typically the bowl is used daily to serve salads containing various oil and vinegar dressings serving five family members. No staining or color discoloration has occurred. The bowl is as new looking as the first time we have used it. The bowl has been used daily for over one year.
