Wooden cups are traditionally boiled in water for a while to help finish them. That will leach the remaining oils and other impurities that the tree absorbed while it grew. Boil it and try again, worst that can happen is either the cup splits and you have to seal it or it just goes back to being a pencil cup/vase.

@Green Sea Ideally you'd boil it several times, until the water is clear, but you may be able to find a better answer elsewhere for the specific wood you are using.

Andy, love what you're doing. Really impressive how close to round you got it with the hand planes. I am a turner and make many of those (though not out of osage). General finishes has a food safe salad bowl finish that I use. It take several coats, letting them fully cure and sanding back between coats. Then you have to let them sit on the shelf for a few weeks, until the odors from the finish fade away. I only make them as custom orders now, the finish time makes them very expensive.

Nearly all finishes are food safe when dry. They might be toxic to ingest the chips if they start flaking off, but are not water soluble, so they won't dissolve in your food or drink. Unless you use shellac and drink alcohol.

Paint the inside with a coat or two of epoxy, preferably marine. But like several have said, boiling wooden utensils is supposed to neutralize any noxious flavors. I'd do that carefully, though, because Osage Orange might crack if treated that way.

Great video! I love the look of the cup but I'll bet it made everything taste like poison. Must've made your shop smell like it to! ;) osage orange, or as I always called it "Bois de Ark" (pronounced 'Bow-dark') is definitely my favorite wood to work with. Back when Native Americans roamed a bow whittled from osage orange was worth about two horses because the wood was so strong and lasted a long time. It's also 2x as hard as walnut/hickory. I grew up around Texarkana on the Arkansas side and I've been playing with Bois de Ark for as long as I can remember. I still see fence posts to this day that are a good 40-50 years old that are still standing strong. But all in all I'm very surprised you managed to get a square of osage orange that hasn't split, sometimes I'll cut a wet piece of wood and by the time it's dry it has a giant split right down the middle. Anyway Great video man! Keep it up!
