Raw Linseed Oil

Penetration and Protection: Linseed oil penetrates deeply into the pores of the wood. This deep penetration provides protection from the inside out, guarding against moisture and reducing the likelihood of cracking and warping.

Enhancing Wood Grain: One of the most appreciated aesthetic benefits of linseed oil is its ability to enhance the natural beauty of the wood. It brings out the depth and richness of the wood grain, giving it a warm, attractive finish.

Flexible Finish: Unlike some varnishes that create a hard topcoat, linseed oil maintains a certain degree of flexibility even after it dries. This flexibility is beneficial for wood, as it can expand and contract with changes in humidity without cracking the finish.

Water Resistance: While not completely waterproof, linseed oil does provide a level of water resistance to wood. It helps in reducing the absorption of water, thereby minimizing swelling and related damage.

Durability and Maintenance: Linseed oil offers a durable finish that can last for years. It’s also easy to maintain – if the finish dulls over time, applying another coat can restore its luster.

Eco-Friendly: Especially in its raw form, linseed oil is a natural, eco-friendly option for wood finishing. It doesn’t emit harmful VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), making it a safer choice for both the user and the environment.
