 What's new for August 2002

No stains or dyes, all colors are the natural color of the wood itself.

    For the Toys, Cutting Boards, and rolling pins I use mineral oil. It's the only finish that is tasteless, colorless, odorless and harmless. For the decorative pieces like Lamps and Vases I use a Tung Oil finish.
