I have a dozen or so of these wooden charges from Pier 1. I use them for 
bread, and cheese and such as you suggest. I was wondering, however, if 
there is a way to seal them to make them food safe? I was told by some 
folks at a recent even that I could pick up what I needed at Michael's 
(a craft store chain), but I never quite caught what it was I would need.

Suggestions?
