This dough bowl is a great addition to your kitchen. You can use it to mix dough, serve fruits or display decorative items. When using it, avoid dropping heavy objects inside to prevent further cracking. To maintain it, wipe it clean with a dry cloth after use. Occasionally, you can apply a small amount of food - grade oil to keep the wood in good condition. Don't soak it in water for long periods as it's made of wood and may be damaged. Keep it in a dry place to prevent mold growth.
