spalted beech goblet that they want to use

[chickenslippers]

Hi all ,

I've just seen the red wine stain resistant thread but didn't want to steal someones thread so I have posted my own, I hope you don't mind.

A friend of mine has seen the spalted beech goblet I made and has commisioned me to make a set of 4. He asked if it would be possible to use the goblets. My reply was that I didn't know as I've heard about food safe finishes.

After reading the other thread I thought the goblets might look cool stained just on the inside, to reduce the effect of red wine.

What else will I have to do? Is it at all possible for him to use the goblets I make for him?

Many thanks Si.

It isn't the finish that is a problem so much as the spalting. It might be safe if you microwaved it or something but personally I wouldn't try it. The mould is rerally dodgy stuff and best not used for any food utensils.
