Wood finishing is one of those places where nasty chemicals and nice people tend to meet intimately. If this has bothered you, a choice is now available. These finishes have no petroleum distillates, lead, or other carcinogenically suspicious substances— they’re entirely brewed from plantstuffs. They don’t evaporate or otherwise get into your environment even through direct contact. Sounds good to me, though I have not tried any (yet). Obviously it’s a fine idea. German-made.
