Cg9638 Posted January 22, 2021 Report Share Posted January 22, 2021 Hello all I am new to the forum and was hoping for some finish guidance. I am building a hickory crib for my daughter and would love some recommendations on a baby safe finish that can be sprayed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnG Posted January 22, 2021 Report Share Posted January 22, 2021 Most finishes are safe once they are fully cured. For some finishes this can be a month or more. Shellac or osmo polyx are good options that are more open about being food safe. Personally my kids never chewed on their cribs so I would have felt safe with anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chestnut Posted January 22, 2021 Report Share Posted January 22, 2021 https://www.rustoleum.com/product-catalog/consumer-brands/watco/butcher-block-oil-and-finish This is labeled food safe and I've used it on a shower rack worked well. Otherwise Natural finishes like Shellac or polymerized oils can work well. I've used https://www.rockler.com/tried-and-true-original-wood-finish tried and true a few times and like it as a finish as a whole. Final recommendation is pure tung oil. I've used that on some outdoor rockers and it protects the wood while being safe and flexible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
