Greetings to the group.

I actually sent this before but it never appeared so I'll try again.

I had a heart attack in March and during the recuperation I started
woodworking on a semi-serious basis. I learn as I go and I'm not too
unhappy with some of the things I've managed.

(I've found out one interesting thing about myself - I can't actually
plan out anything I make! I can only visualize it in my head and then
go one step at a time and design on the fly! I've become a firm
adherant to the amateur woodworkers' motto: "Cut to shape - Pound to
fit!")

But I have a continuing problem I can't solve.

Can anyone recommend a sealer/stain/paint/varnish/shellac/whatever
that can be used on the INTERIOR of wooden containers made to hold
food? (Like cannisters, bread bins, larders, etc.) It should be a
hard gloss finish (for easy cleaning) and has to be completely
odor-free and non-toxic so no taste or odor transfers to the food
inside.

Is lining the item with plastic or something similar the only answer?

Many thanx for any advice.
