I've been diving into the world of woodworking and am curious about the process to ensure that my wooden bowls or cups are food safe. I've read a lot about finishes, but I haven't come across much regarding stains. Are there any stains available that are food safe? Also, can I apply any stain and then use a food safe finish or sealer afterwards?

Most finishes are actually food safe once they've fully cured. So, if you're concerned about safety, it's often more about the finishing products than the wood itself. Just make sure to check out options like the ones listed on Fine Woodworking; they have good recommendations for food safe finishes. Also, if you're thinking about staining, make sure to do your finish right afterwards for the best results!
