Only Linseed Oilis used and you can forgo that to if you wish.
Standard wood finish is a polymerized linseed oil. Linseed oil is a natural product that is pressed from the dried seeds of the flax plant (Linum usitatissimum) and is commonly called flaxseed or linseed oil. The flax plant has been cultivated for thousands of years for its fiber (linen), seed and oil. Linseed oil is one of the oldest commercial oils and has been used for centuries as a drying oil in painting and varnishing. Recently the potential health benefits from omega-3 fatty acids and lignins in flaxseed have added to the plant’s popularity.
Raw linseed oil can be used as a wood finish but it can take weeks for it to fully cure. It is for this reason that we use a polymerized linseed oil which is somewhat more viscous than raw linseed oil (making it more difficult to spread and apply) but dries considerably more quickly. The polymerization of the oil is accomplished by applying heat to the oil in the absence of oxygen. Be aware that this process produces a final product that is not the same as the “boiled linseed oil” that you might find on the shelves of home improvement and hardware stores. As counter-intuitive as it seems, boiled linseed oil has not been “boiled” or heated at all but instead has had petroleum-based solvents and metal driers added to it so that it supposedly behaves as if it was “boiled”. The most commonly used heavy metal dryer in “boiled linseed oil” is cobalt that is considered toxic. Additionally, a finish generically referred to as “Danish Oil” is produced by large paint manufacturers and contains some linseed oil but the majority of the components may be carcinogenic, petroleum-based ingredients such as Naptha, Mineral Spirits, and Dipropylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether.
Our linseed oil finish is 100% pure polymerized linseed oil that contains NO petroleum distillates, NO volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and NO heavy metal driers. The heating methods used to polymerize our linseed oil finish have been adapted from 18th to early 20th century varnish-making techniques while also using current technology and quality control measures to ensure a consistent and natural product. We have taken the approach that a simple, natural finish is safer for us to work with, as well as, provide customers with non-toxic furniture.
Linseed oil finish does not form a “shell” on the surface of the wood like varnishes or paints. Instead the oil soaks into the pores of the wood, leaving a satin surface that emphasizes the grain and natural beauty of the wood. The linseed oil continues to harden over time and enhances the wood’s resistance to denting and scratching. If damage does occur, the wood can be easily repaired by sanding and reapplying linseed oil. Reapplication of linseed oil over time will improve the richness of the wood finish and provide additional protection for the future.
Be assured that our linseed oil finish is safe for children, pets, parents and the environment.

What wood is used ?
We do not use tropical trees in any of our products even though they often have very interesting colors and grain patterns. We feel these tropical trees play a much more critical role in fragile ecosystems going through their natural life cycle than becoming furniture. For this reason, we have made the conscious decision to not contribute to their destruction.
Our beds and furnture is made with only solid, Midwestern and Appalachian hardwoods that are in plentiful supply.
Technically, hardwoods come from angiosperm trees (flower plants) while softwoods come from conifers (cone-bearing seed plants). In general everyday terms, in the northern hemisphere we typically refer to hardwoods as those that come from trees that drops their leaves in the winter, unlike softwoods that keep their leaves (typically needles) all year round.
Since our hardwood is made in nature, there will be beautiful variations that enhance the uniqueness of the piece. Variations you may see include: figuring, quilting, ray flecks, minerals inclusions, color variation, small knots, etc. These variations are your assurance that you are only getting the highest quality solid hardwood.
Unlike plywood and veneered particleboards, solid hardwoods are simply that- solid wood as cut from a tree. Scratches or dents to the surface can be easily sanded out and refinished to give a like-new surface. Denting or chipping of veneered products will reveal an unsightly core that cannot be sanded to blend in.
