Spoon (lemmy.ca)

It's my first attempt at anything. I wouldn't use it with anything liquid, but it might be fine for a dry ingredient.

Any suggestions on what to seal it with? I have heard of food-safe wax, but I'm not sure if that's mainly for butcher blocks, or would be appropriate for a spoon.

that would be appropriate I'd say

Any foodsafe oil, preferably one that doesn't oxidize quickly. Mineral oil is a good candidate. Doesn't offer a huge amount of protection but you can reapply it often to keep it sealed.

Don't use mineral spirits that's toxic.

I just used cooking oil and the wood spoon lasts a long time. And it you happen to eat a particle of it, who cares, it's wood.
