Remember the charcoal bowls? Time to see if they can be saved.
We soaked them in a 1:1 glue and water mix to strengthen the fragile wood.
One cleaned up beautifully… But the other is still in pieces.
What's next for the black bowl? Find out in Part 3.

What happens when you try to save woodworm-infested bowls with a fire treatment?
Let’s just say… things didn’t go exactly to plan.
One bowl turned to charcoal, the other barely made it out alive.
Curious? Part II shows what I try next 👀🔥

🔥 Fire & Sawdust Magic 🔥
