Hemp Oil, also known as industrial hempseed oil, has seen a rise in popularity lately and offers multiple valuable properties as a wood finish. Firstly, it is a sustainable and eco-friendly option, as hemp is a fast-growing crop that requires minimal pesticides and fertilizers. Secondly, hempseed oil penetrates deeply into the wood, providing excellent moisture resistance and helping to prevent warping and cracking. Additionally, it is a natural drying oil with a thin viscosity, meaning no solvents are needed. It enhances the durability and longevity of the wood, while also imparting a beautiful natural sheen. Lastly, hempseed oil is nontoxic and free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Since it's safe for food contact, hypoallergenic and THC free, it's a great sealant for cutting boards and bowls in addition to its use on furniture, over milk paint and more.
