Westley don't let salad bowl finish fool you. In one of the woodturning magazines they talked about it being not much different than danish oil or antique oil. I talked with Ernie Conover when I met him in Virginia a couple of years ago and he uses Antique Oil on everything including eating untensils. So now I either use Minwax Antique Oil or General Finishes Seal-A-Cell followed by a couple of coats of Arm-R-Seal for all my eating bowls and kitchen untensils. If they are left to dry for 72 hrs. they will be food safe. I have a set of salad/cereal bowls I did a year ago with the general finishes. I left them to cure for about a month. I eat from one of them everyday. Just make sure you wash them with warm soapy water and dry them right away. Then let them air dry before putting them away. Oh and one other thing. I found bowls I used the Salad Bowl finish on 2 1/2 yrs. ago are starting to turn yellow. Ernie Conover said he found the same thing happen plus he said some of his got slightly gummy. That would be a mess. Hope this helps.
