you dont need to stain it....at least I never have, i normally run them through the dishwasher once with soap and then once with out anything.... then let it dry and its done! and I have never had a problem

if you did want to stain it, use a water based stain and also a water based polyurethane to seal it.

You may want to bake it in the oven for a bit to kill off anything in the wood.

You should be able to use it. You might want to boil it or put it in the oven for a little while. This will kill any bugs or bacteria on it.

Yup, baking is a must-low temp-1hr or so. Same goes for rocks too! The bonus is that you get exactly the piece of wood that you want.:bounce:
