Walnut!

Johnny:
Tung Oil is super awesome for finishing wood, UNLESS you're going to eat off of it? A lot of folks have terrible allergic reactions to Tung Oil just from touching it? I know Formbys Tung Oil has that warning on the can. It says "allergic reactions can occur when coming in contact with this product. Wear gloves when working with all non food grade finishes. Work in properly ventilated work spaces." I've used it thousands of times in 50+ years with no issues, BUT there's always that first time?
Just a heads up.
God bless:

You are not born with all of your allergies. Some will develop over the course of your life. Maybe catch you by surprise. Two Feathers has a very good point.

I'd consider Renaissance wax on top of your other finish. FDA has approved micro-crystalline waxes in food contact. And Ren wax sure does make it pretty.

Truth.
Some just come,,,, and go,,,, as we age and our body chemistry changes, and as we become more exposed and/or overexposed to certain things. They can also change with serious trauma. My brother had no real food allergies except lactose intolerance (which really isn't an allergy) until he sustained massive trauma and a severe TBI in a car wreck. After that he has dealt with many good allergy issues, some worse than others, for the past 28 years. Some have started to go away though.

Walnut oil and maybe Johnsons Paste Wax? Unfortunately Butchers Wax is no more.
Someone more knowledgeable and experienced in woodworking, especially bowl or spoon making than myself could give a better answer.

Johnson's paste wax is being discontinued.

Briwax or minwax are good replacements
