Toy Blocks
I am starting to make a set of wooden toy blocks, out of various hardwood species, to create a few different colours.
Because children will put things in their mouths and chew them, what is the best finish or them? I was thinking a foodsafe oil like you would use on a chopping board.
Any comments and ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Paul

Hi
I always use a home-made mixture of beeswax and mineral oil.
You can do it yourself!
