Materials and Finishes Used

Everything used in PRWMade products, from the wood to the finishes and packaging, is chosen to be safe for you and the environment. Here is what goes into each piece and why.

I strive to ensure that everything I use - from the wood in my jewelry and decor, to the finishes and packaging - is safe for you and the environment.

Here's the low down on some of the more common finishes, products, materials, and packaging I use at PRWMade.

BLO, or Boiled Linseed Oil

is a sustainable and biodegradable finishing oil. It has no harmful ingredients or chemicals that damage and challenge the environment. Many finishing oils release heavy metals, lead acetate, and cobalt-manganese chemicals which are not safe for the environment.

Linseed oil is hydrophobic and will repel water. It has good resistance against moisture; however, it is not waterproof.

Therefore, linseed oil is able to protect the wood from water damage, but under high moisture or water content, you can't rely on linseed oil, because the protection breaks down in a high-moisture environment.
