    Default Food safe wood stain and sealer?

    Hi, can any one recommend me some food safe wood stain and sealer and where can I find them? I know of something called milk paint but looking for something more like natural finish.
    Thanks

    HT, Here's a couple sites where you could start looking,

    Non-Toxic Salad Bowl Finish

    This is a high quality, non-toxic kitchenware finish.
    It is food safe when dry and is highly resistant to food and water stains.
    We recommend this finish as one to use for craft show kitchenware as it can be touched up with mineral

    Hi...as far as I know...(and I have been painting for over 25 years) there is no food safe stain...what I do is stain the piece and then seal it...on a piece that is to be used for food I use a varathane sealer...I have never had any problem at all with this..I use this method when I paint wooden bowls...etc...you might google it and see what comes up...maybe...they now have something out there on the market...

    I can't help you any on the stain but I use mineral oil on my cutting boards. It won't go rancid on you either.

    Wouldn't a waterbased dye be food safe? I've used fabric dye, but food coloring would also stain wood. It wood take some experimentation to get the right mix.
