Hi, I'm relatively new to this forum and thought I'd ask the experts a question.
I've turned a whole lot of pens, and I'm moving up to turning bowls and larger things. I'm thinking of make a small saltbox. My wife and I cook a lot and I thought it would be fun to make a little wood saltbox to have in the kitchen.
I have some staghorn sumac that I was thinking of using for the saltbox. The questions are: would staghorn sumac be a good species to use for this? Is it food safe? Also, any recommendations on a finish that would withstand the harsh salt environment?
Thanks, and I'm glad to be here.
