Pure Swedish Raw Linseed Oil - 1 Gallon - Rejuvenate & Nourish Wooden Surfaces

The oil is stored for at least 6 months after being pressed so that any slime products may settle. It is a natural treatment without any chemical additives. The absolutely pure linseed oil is then decanted to another storage tank.
