Food safe wax and protection

<< < (2/2)

Twisted Trees:
I don't disagree with you Bill (except the drying time would clog up my workspace) I was just pointing out the very distinct difference between edible and "certified food safe"

Probably much more common sense in the UK, but if you happen to sell a bowl for food use in Canada it is illegal unless it is a "certified food safe finish" as opposed to an edible oil, but then they don't allow spalting inclusions or cracks either which I am fine with for "dry food use" e.g. a fruit bowl rather than a salad bowl.
 

Bill21:
Some words of wisdom on the topic from a well respected Bowl Turner.

I used some Walnut Oil on a spoon and it took a couple of weeks to dry but the wood felt lovely in the hand.
