Thread: Food safe finishes

There are so many different views as to what is food safe and what not.
If one is treating a surface for one's own use, one can use any vegetable oil. Naturally timber does not like water so cleaning is carried out with a mild cleaner and little water.

If though you are selling it on, again, it depends to who, it should be certified.
There were many ropes to jump through with paperwork etc before a large supermarket chain received the go ahead to use the Livos Kunos on their chopping boards.
The nice thing with a penetrating oil is it really brings out the timber features and colour. Here you will see some beautiful examples. Handcrafted Woodwork - Livos Australia
