Boiled linseed oil is “New Old School”—a traditional coating that was almost forgotten, but was once routinely used for wooden surfaces and structural elements, both indoors and out.
In 2015, we rediscovered the traditional recipe, carefully refined it, and had it tested for contact with food.
Today, boiled linseed oil is one of the most authentic ways for many workshops and wood enthusiasts to protect wood naturally: for cutting boards, end grain, kitchen utensils, turning projects, as well as bowls, knife handles, toys, birdhouses and bee houses, windows, and doors.
Our boiled linseed oil is made in a gentle cooking process using only pure, cold-pressed linseed oil. To ensure faster and more even drying, we supplement the recipe with only a minimal amount of a modern drying agent.
Additional additives and solvents are strictly off-limits. What’s more, our boiled linseed oil has been tested in accordance with the German Food and Feed Code (LFGB) and is suitable for wooden surfaces that come into contact with food.
After application, the boiled linseed oil forms a durable bond with the wood and creates a water-repellent finish. Application is deliberately simple: apply generously with a cotton cloth or brush, allow it to penetrate briefly, and remove any excess oil. After sufficient drying, the application can be repeated several times. Two to three coats are usually sufficient.
The wood appears more vibrant, warmer, and richer in tone. Light-colored woods develop a natural honey tone.
