VINNIE'S OIL STORY

OUR PRODUCTS AND PHILOSOPHY.​

Vinnie's Oil system for wood. Is a series of toxic free and VOC free hard wax oils for wood, that consists of high quality cold pressed and polymerising oils. With naturally small molecules for better penetration. And hard waxes controlled for purity and toxins to make sure its not cheap waxes mixed with anything we do not want, like paraffin oil. Together they make a system for wood that protects the wood from all its challenges, just like a living tree with its resin and its bark.

We want to think in the same way when creating our treatments, Looking at how nature handle its challenges on a molecular level, and try to learn from it and copy it. And the tree has a 2k soloution with its resin and its bark with different functions that makes it last for hundres of years. And ofcourse with living cells that maintain it. It uses no man made chemicals, theres no need. The solution is already made by nature and there to find, and always seems to be in the most optimal way when you get the full pickture. Even if we do not always understand why at first. Take plastic for example. A great material that protects for a million years. Until we realize that it can also kill us slowly. With microplastics, hormone inbalances, toxicity, and enviroment disasters. Same goes for a lot of wood preservatives thats incredably toxic for us even though it may protect the wood ALMOST as good as the tree, and becomes ALMOST as timelessly beautiful as the natural look of the wood.. 

We cant make living cells to maintain it for a hundred years, but we can make sure it lasts for a long time before you have to. Except from the living cells we want to think in the same terms as the tree. Our standard treatment for example is also 2k but not in a toxic, man made usual meaning. But in the same natural meaning as the tree, where the UPO is its protective resin impregnating the wood, penetrates, hardens (but still makes it flexible) and protects the wood for a long time in a natural way. It does not crack if the wood moves. It also protects extremely well from moist dirt and wear. Along with the Vinnie's hard wax or Vinnie's Eternal Seal as its extra shield.

Wood is a living material, that contributes to our very existence, And nature knows how to protect it in the most optimal way. So should our treatments be!

STORY

For thousands of years, we in Sweden have possessed extensive knowledge about wood and how to preserve it – from the Viking ships to today’s modern woodworking culture. A long time ago, at the beginning of 2021, in the deep forests of Sweden, four Swedish master woodworkers dreamed of creating the ultimate hardwax oil for wood. They believed that the products on the market were either too toxic – you don’t want to know what chemicals in some treatments expose you and your family to – or they didn’t provide the level of protection and durability we wanted for our own projects. We wanted to create a wood treatment that was perfect in every aspect: in appearance, long-lasting protection, and free from solvents and toxins. One that wouldn’t yellow the wood or require a new application every year to keep it in perfect shape. 

For a long time, we tested everything, always comparing it to existing products we had used before. We subjected the products to rigorous stress tests. We took our tests a step further – see for example, our “untrimmed test,” where we wash, scrub, and dish end-grain boards in red wine and coffee for well over 30 minutes. As we said, we had no interest in creating a typical, ordinary hardwax oil; our goal was the strongest toxic-free hardwax oil for wood that nature has to offer. The end result was Vinnie’s Oil – the strongest toxin-free system for wood. A line of hardwax oils inspired by the living tree and nature itself, with its resin and bark, which penetrates deep into the wood fibers, hardening the wood itself while saturating the pores beneath the surface where it polymerizes/cures, creating a hard and beautiful wood surface. Combined with the most concentrated hardwax on the market, or our Eternal Seal, which acts as the tree’s invisible “bark,” our natural 2K solution provides the strongest toxin-free system for wood. At the same time, it gives a beautiful natural matte-to-semi-gloss finish without compromising the wood’s natural character.​
