Is there "food grade" epoxy you could treat the wood with, to seal it? It feels like untreated wood would be safe to use with anything but water. Imagine an untreated, "raw" wood coffee cup. It would absorb the coffee (and cream & sugar, if you like them), & become a breeding ground for bacteria & mold (nless there is some aspect of this project you didn't show, i.e. treating the wood off-screen).

Good question! I use oat milk so no spoilage of dairy milk to worry about. And the wood actually works as a natural anti microbial, keeping conditions more sanitary than you’d expect (probably why wood cutting boards are so commonly used). And for the coffee beans and resin, you nailed it! I went back and coated it with a food grade epoxy because I didn’t have any on hand at the time of the project.

Also would the grains rot quicker than regular wood? It looks really good. It would be cool if it was actually useful for everyday stuff

I love the idea! My only concern as a scientist is, the effects of heated epoxy when ingested? I would not feel safe drinking out of it but certainly, it's a beautiful art display piece!

As a trained epoxy technician i know that once epoxy is hardened it’s free of any unpleasant side effects.

Thanks Frank :) viewer feedback is what keeps me goin!!

I can just imagine how good that sanding smelled.

I’ve always wondered when someone was going to do that!

Nice tumbler! Coffee beans; I never would have thunk about using them. Using cloth towel to apply polish not a good idea. Better to use a paper towel since much safer. Turn safely!

@@PrestonsProjects You’re welcome. Cloth could catch on something like the turning or the Chuck. The chances of losing a finger, hand or even an arm are greatly increased because of the cloth. Paper towels will tear off easily if they catch on anything. And paper towels provide a nice finish, as well.
