Thread: My daughter and Danish oil.

My daughter and Danish oil.
Last week I made the little step for her to get on the rocking horse. It was finished with 2 coats of Danish oil. She loves the smell of it. She just can’t stop sniffing it.
Here are some of her quotes.
“I love the smell of the wood Daddy”
“Do you use that (Danish oil) to polish the timber?”
“Can we polish the rocking horse now Daddy?”
On the other hand this is what my wife said
“The timber stinks the whole house”Visit my website at www.myFineWoodWork.com

Think you nailed that on pretty well Alex.
The theory goes something like: stronger the aromatics the worse it is for you.
This is why we use mineral turpentine in our waxes rather then pure turpentine. The pure turps is thought to be the reason why many of the old time artists were a bit off their heads. It is also roumered to cause such things as kidney failure f absorbed throught the pores of the skin. but that's another story.
Think you will also find the oils keep the poly in a soft state for a much longer time and that poly being pretty nasty stuff in itself will be adding to the the fumes.
I certainly wouldn't be letting my children in the same room with the stuff, let alone let them sniff at it. Wongo's beautiful little girl is much too young to be sniffing that stuff. Hell I'm 57 and I reckon I'm much too young to sniffing that stuff.

Thanks Neil.
I will keep her away from that stuff.
I made a chopping board the other day. She wanted me to put it in her bedroom but I didn’t.:eek:

My Dad has been a full time landscape arstist - in oil painting - for nearly 30 years. About ten years ago he started having a few problems health wise (not mental, but generally feeling unwell). After investigation it was found to be the tools of his trade, mainly the turps used consistantly for cleaning. He changed to mineral, built himself an extractor and left doors open in the studio. Has worked very well so far.
Amazing what we do to ourselves without even knowing it sometimes. MDF, aesbestos, DDT the list will go on as long as we are testing and discovering I guess.Cheerio.

Re the DO coated steps .. just let them, or similar, sit for a week or two to go off.
That said, I use Rustins on most of my turnings and have never felt any ill effects.Cheers, Ern

Can't stand by any longer.
:eek:
Get rid of that chopping board. I don't know of any "Food Grade" Burnishing oils. If you can't drink it don't use it. I make chopping boards for a crust, only ever use "VEGETABLE OIL" as a minimum. If your making it for yourself then invest in "GRAPESEED OIL" only $3. for small bottle but best commercial oil on the market, won't go rancid either.

Welcome bystander.
Well maybe you know something we don't know. On the organoil website http://www.organoil.com.au/woodcraft/index.html it says very clear that hard burnishing oil is safe for food serving items.
