I am in the U.S as well and I am having the same issue with my wood hideout. I am not comfortable just yet with using glues and such. Especially because most of the glues here in the U.S are highly toxic. However, I have been doing a lot of research and I am looking into Walnut oil. Apparently, Walnut oil is a natural wood finish for food grade wood products. It's suppose to help create a water proof layer.

Also, my dad is a bee keeper. He suggested Bee's wax. Apparently bee's wax (as long as its not processed) is antibacterial and antifungal.

Does anyone have any thoughts about Walnut oil and bee's wax as a protectant for wood?
