Placing A Cake On Wood, Like You See On Tv???

I am getting ready to make a 3-D horse that is supported by a wooden frame. A Cake Central member has told me that she coated her wooden frame with something called Butcher's Block. It is an oil that seals wood and is food safe. Search Butcher's Block Sealant or Oil on Google.
Another friend suggested that I cover the wood with press-n-seal as an extra protectant and I am going to try that too. Since the cake I am making is for children that I know will try to eat everything off the cake, I want to be sure nothing is actually touching the wood.
On Ace of Cakes, I think they use something to protect the cake itself from the wood and metal frames that they use but I've seen them put modeling chocolate straight on a piece of metal which can't be food safe. I think they probably only serve the cake that is protected and don't expect people to eat the RKT or modeling chocolate that is stuck to the wood and metal frames.
I was wondering if you could "paint" the structure with melted candy to cover the wood?
I placed a train cake on a wooden board. I cut a piece of cardboard the same size as the wooden board, then covered the whole thing with fondant as well. Worked great! I now get nervous placing a cake on anything but a wooden board.
I was referring to internal structures that might be wood - not the board. Painting with melted candy seems like it would work as long as you let it dry good before stacking cake next to it.
