What are the best cat-safe wood finishes for my DIY cat tree?

Question

I am building my cat a cat tree, using a branch from a tree for part of it. My question is is there anything I can use on the wood, or the branch that would be cat safe? I mean in terms of stain, or sealer, or varnish, etc. Any recommendations of cat friendly products, to seal or preserve the pieces of the cat tree, would be dearly appreciated!

Cats will often scratch and ingest the dust from timbers and scratching posts as they groom their feet. This is completely natural behavior and is no concern with untreated timbers. I would be sure to use a non-toxic tree and would not use any sealers or varnish
