My take on green wood sealer is that it is a wax based emulsion,
must be sort of a latex-like material because it is washable when
wet. If anyone has a recipe for this stuff, I'd like to know it
too.<br>
<br>
I have never tried this idea, but I have read about using latex
paint. An excellent use of old partial cans of the stuff we have
stored away because it it too good to throw away, but not enough for
another painting project. Heck, on a humorous note, you could even
color code your blanks: black for black walnut, red for red cedar,
white for white ash, yellow for poplar, the possibilities are
endless.<br>
<br>
I can't imagine beeswax NOT being food safe, how much more natural
can one get? I have never used it because I have not tried hard
enough top find a source. But if anyone knows a bee keeper, I think
you would end up with a lifetime source of the stuff. This got me
thinking, can't you buy honey in the comb? Buy that for your toast
or pancakes, wash the residual honey off the comb when it's gone and
heat it in a double boiler to melt it into a lump. Seems like I
have read of a home made finish with beeswax, oil and something
else, maybe shellac. John<br>
