I'm working on a kitchen table I built out of reclaimed hickory and am looking for a food-safe product to seal and finish the top. Ideally we wouldn't stain the wood as we like the color, just something clear to seal and protect it. What would you recommend? SAMPLE - Bioshield, Herbal Oil Wood Stains & Sealers

We have two food-grade options. One is the BioShield Herbal Oil and the other is AFM Safecoat Naturals Clear Penetrating Oil. Either would be fine for your application. They are both penetrating sealers and will honey the color of your wood slightly. If you prefer a clear topical coating, then our AFM Safecoat Polyureseal BP would be the best option. It is designed for flooring and produces a tough, long-lasting finish that will not change color with age.
