it is definitely still a problem, the "naturalness" of the finish is irrelevant
even burning wood itself releases compounds that can be harmful (hence why we advise against breathing in smoke)
I second the idea from a separate poster that if you want to burn, seal, and add more burns-- just use a solvent to remove the seal before you do the second set of burns. Or burn it all at once before sealing
Yeah that’s a good point. Thanks for the suggestions, I’m going to try and burn it all at once, but may need to add things later, so I’ll see how the solvent goes to burn and reseal.
