Thanks all, for the toxicity info. I think I'll just try this on the no food contact side of a piece for now.

Excellent job! I took a furniture refinishing class through a local adult ed program last fall. The instructor, Anna, was brilliant. She showed us a 3 part finish for wood that is beautiful - equal parts varathane (oil-based, gloss, semi-gloss, whatever you want), boiled linseed oil and tung oil. I really need a re-upholstery class, but in the mean time will check out the references mentioned above.

Great idea. Is the paint non-toxic so that I could put food on the painted piece, e.g. a platter?

I'm new here, and until this summer was alsopastry phobic. I bought pastry shells when I made pie with the apology that Tenderflake did a better job of it than I could. But, this summer I discovered a fool-proof pastry recipe from Cook's Illustrated made with vodka! Easy to roll out, tender and flaky. Yum. I now make my own pastry and it's much better than Tenderflake! I've since passed the recipe on to friends and they too have had success. Happy baking.
