I am refurbishing a high chair. What I need is recommendations for a
finish. I need something safe if the baby is teething and bits on the
wood. I don't want to use paint of any kind. What do you suggest?

A high chair needs to have a finish that can stand up to repeated
washings and disinfectants. Waterlox is tough as nails, thin enough
to wipe on, and like Leon said, safe after drying.

Tung or shellac. Both are used for food packaging.
Yes, it has been proven that "nearly" all film finishes are non-toxic
when fully cured. However, if you want to be very safe you can use
this product from General Finishes http://www.woodcraft.com/family.aspx?familyid=752.
The manufacturer makes a specific claim of food safety and non
toxicity. It is an easy wipe on type finish and very durable. I used
it on some Sushi boards (Gita), the little wood platters with the cool
sliding dovetail legs and it has held up well in a commercial
environment where they get washed all the time. It seems about as
tough as poly. I had some drips and had a bitch sanding them out.

Actually, you can just wipe it with denatured alcohol for minor
repairs.

Most any varnish is safe after it has cured.

Shellac is approved for use on food (i.e. M&Ms). While it may not be as
tough as some other finishes, it's easily repaired by just wiping on
another coat.
