Looking for some "toddler safe" finishes for some wood working. By
"toddler safe" I don't mean that this is safe for a kid to apply, but
is not going to be toxic if a kid sticks the finished piece in his
mouth. Or chews on it, or any of the things which small children do
to explore their world.
E.G., lead based paint is obviously straight off.

Shellac and bees wax.



Perhaps use a food-safe finish that is OK for
wooden bowls and wooden serving spoons ..

tung oil

read the "Tech" and "Inst" links that are embedded in the web
page near the prices.

You don't state what you're finishing .. I've made folk toys and just
left them unfinished. The very minor wear & tear makes them
look natural and well loved.
