5.0 out of 5 stars This is NOT Boiled - but that's OK!
I chose this because of the toxic chemicals that are added to BOILED linseed oil and wanted to avoid them. Basically they are there to make it cure faster, which may or may not be an issue for you. I have plenty of time for these projects and decided to give this a try. I have used this on several projects including tool handles and old teak on a boat. I have been very pleased with the results and have not had any problems applying it.My personal favorite treatment for weathered wood that will be outside is first clean with SOS pads and dry in the shade if possible for a day. When clean AND dry apply a couple coats the first day (morning and evening), then one coat a day until it doesn't seem to "take" any more. Then let it sit for a week, give it one more coat and when it seems like the right finish give it a top coat with pure Carnuba Wax. One wood with a rough finish, I used a tooth brush and hair dryer to melt it in and clean the excess. My wood handled tools look great and after a few wipes with a clean shop rag or paper towel feel great. If you get it on metal, a light slight rub with Dawn and steel wool (or that left over SOS pad) cleans it off and coat with Ballistol (also non toxic).Cautions:#1: Linseed oil soaked rags can spontaneously combust (ie FIRE). READ THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE CAN! I store my rags in a sealed ziplock bag or other air-tight container, and place them in a metal coffee can and leave outside. Sealed this way, I've never had a problem. Allowed to air dry, they will get warm, if you are going to air dry them, hang them on a clothes line away from anything else. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE CAN!#2: All linseed oils darken most woods. I'm new at this, but different woods responded differently. Test with scrap wood or the "hidden" side of something before you throw it on something that you have expectations for.Final thoughts: I'm happy with this brand and am a repeat customer. Linseed oil may or may not be right for your project, but if you don't mind a little longer time for a finish, and want non toxic products when possible, I can STRONGLY recommend this one.

Odor not too bad.
5.0 out of 5 stars My go-to finish!
This is a great oil finish for my hand plane restorations and for many projects! BLO is great because it's almost foolproof, doesn't need sanding between coats, accepts many recoats, and enhances most wood's colors. For hand planes, it helps restore the condition of dried out, ugly wood, so when I scrape off the hard shell factory coatings, BLO goes on. It has a lighter look, which I really like. It dries pretty quickly, thanks to included drying chemicals, so you do need to wear gloves, but raw BLO is hard to find and takes much longer to dry, so that's an acceptable solution for me.Of course, the downside is that you must be careful disposing the rag. To prevent a fire, you must either lay them out flat to dry (concrete or other fireproof material) or keep them from absorbing oxygen (fireproof/sealing rag can, submerging in water, or tightly confined in an airtight container). That's really not much different from keeping your solvents safe from combustion.Overall, I really love this stuff. Just be sure to keep the cap and top free of BLO when you reseal it or you'll have a devil of a time getting it back off after the BLO dries.
4.0 out of 5 stars A bit of a niche product, but if you need it, then you really need this and only this.
It's raw linseed oil, make sure that's what you need. If you use this for a wood finish it's going to take a long time to cure/dry, several weeks. But unlike the chemically treated "boiled" linseed oil, it doesn't contain the chemical driers that are hazardous so it's safe on wood utensils. You do need to keep in mind that it's a vegetable oil (it's also called flaxseed oil when food grade and sold as a supplement) and can go rancid, so don't keep one bottle around for years.

Used this oil on my wife's garden boxes I built this year. Great value, no smell once dry. Color is great. Should keep boxes protected for years to come. Not sticky.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great Product
Two coats worked really well on my new wooden planter box. As a raw oil, it will not harm food plants, the soil around them, or my health :)
5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly as I expected
It very quickly. It's the perfect finish and easy to use. It was the color I wanted. Good value for your money. The thickness of it was perfect. It dries very quickly and the color was perfect
5.0 out of 5 stars WORKS GREAT i even made a video!
The media could not be loaded. I loved it!! check out my video. I recommend wearing gloves. either rubber gloves or disposable ones and use an old paintbrush and throw it away
