87232S Boiled Linseed Oil, Quart

A Reliable, Versatile Oil for Wood and More This boiled linseed oil turned out to be exactly what I needed for a few different projects around the house. I’ve used it mainly for wood finishing—bringing out the grain on some older furniture pieces and protecting tool handles. The transformation is immediate: the wood looks richer and warmer, and it leaves a protective layer that helps guard against dryness and cracking. The quart size is generous, and a little goes a long way. I applied it with a cloth in thin coats, letting each layer soak in, and the results were excellent. It’s easy to work with—absorbs evenly, doesn’t clump, and wipes clean. I also appreciated that it’s useful beyond just furniture; it’s been handy on outdoor wood and even helped revive a couple of faded wooden garden tools. The only thing to keep in mind is that it has the strong, distinct smell typical of linseed oil, and you really need to allow for plenty of drying time between coats. Good ventilation is key. Also, oily rags need to be disposed of safely, since they can be a fire hazard. Bottom line: A dependable, high-quality boiled linseed oil that’s versatile for indoor and outdoor wood care. It brings out natural beauty in wood and provides lasting protection, as long as you use it safely and patiently.

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.

Great stuff

I've been using boiled linseed oil for various woodworking projects, and this product truly stands out. The rich amber hue enhances the natural grain of the wood, adding warmth and depth without overpowering the original tones. The clarity is exceptional—no cloudiness or residue, just a smooth, even application that brings out the best in the material. It penetrates deeply, providing a durable and protective finish while maintaining a natural look. Whether for refinishing furniture or protecting outdoor wood, this oil delivers excellent results every time. Highly recommend!

Used on live edge maple slab coffee table. Looked great and protected wood.

this is good stuff, it is versatile and easy to use. A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY.

Seems like a great value, pricewise compared to other BLO options. Used this to oil an axe handle, with great results. A little goes a long way, and there's enough in this quart container to last many years and plenty of projects. Very happy with this buy.

Works great good price
