Why tempt fate? Or, just go ahead and take a chance. After all, Romans poisoned themselves using lead for plumbing; and we still use it to 'glue' copper plumbing pipes. "Remember Flint, Michigan!"
That's my rant. I want some rhubarb. Hold the leaves.

Sorry I thought the "Comments area" would help you think about it.
To me I would not use it for daily use nor weekly use. There are a lot of other woods more suited for use in food use. Also being a turner maybe if it was sealed into the pores like putting it in a vacuum chamber and force poly or shellac to seal the pores instead of mineral spirits or something else which can be easily washed out.
If you ask this question in Turning they could help better since that is what they done.
