WayneMahler Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 I cut the little ducks from Steve Good. I finish them either mineral spirits or tung oil. Once dry both are food safe and pretty durable. As for coloring them, I would think any dye would work, I leave mine natural.

Scrolling Steve Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 Food grade mineral oil would bring out the grain and be safe......Like Wayne stated, a lot of finishes are safe when fully cured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharleyL Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 Food coloring makes a good stain. Mix, bland several colors to get whatever you want, or just use the basic red, yellow, green, blue, etc. Charley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky2 Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 Jerry, to protect them, I would use mineral oil. To color them, I would use food dye or colored felt tip markers. I use the markers a lot on turned items, the colors are always nice and bright. Len Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
