Thanks guys,I would have never thought,that a wooden bowl would have had so much meaning to so many families.They really are special to my family,but not knowing,I would have thought most would have considered them to be junk.
My son was with me when i found one of them in an old smokehouse.When he saw it he did not have a clue as to what it was used for,but he asked if we could keep it.I told him what it was used for and it was not going anywhere.When we found out who it belong to,and found out some of the history,he really got excited.After he seen that we had 2 of them,he asked if someday he and his sister could each have one.I never had thought of putting the oil on them,but that's what I'm going to do(Thanks cogar).The one that we found in the smokehouse,still has a few bugs.I am hoping the oil will stop their damage.
This is off the subject,but I am looking to start a search on our family history.Could someone tell me where would be the best place to begin.I know there are several sites that charge a fee,but i don't know where to start,and with money being tight right now,is there any free sites,even though they may have limited info.I just need a little help.
Thanks,God bless,Keith
