    Default Food safe finishes for Bamboo

    I'm having some bamboo bowls made and was wondering how they can be made food safe.
    I've been told there is a natural lacquer derived from the cashew nut tree, would anyone know what this is called, or perhaps a better option??
    Thanks

    Default Bamboo Finish

    I did not read the article, but you can buy 100% Tung Oil to finish your bamboo.

    Just be sure you buy only 100% Tung Oil, as there are many finishes that may use the words Tung Oil, but they will have other chemicals added, only the 100% Tung Oil is a food safe finish.

    Good Luck
