Default Salad Bowl Finish
I'm trying my hand at making a salad bowl. What finish should I use for use with food?
Thanks.

General Finishes makes a good salad bowl finish as well as Behlens. These two will bring up a good gloss. Pure Tung oil is food safe after it cures and takes about 30 days to cure as there are no driers in it but is one of the most beautiful for salad bowls as the finish glows from deep within the wood. Howards makes a butchers block wax that looks good and is easy to apply. And theres plain old mineral oil, probably the eaisiest but my least favorite. My favorite is the tung oil it just takes a lot more paitience to use.

This question has been asked and answered here many times. Putting Food Safe in the search button above results in many threads. Here are the results. I think you will find many answers containing information that will work. Here is the result I got when searching Woodcarving Illustrated Message Board - Search Results
