Abstract
Plant-based wood treatments have been utilized for many years, with varying success. Oils such as those extracted from linseed (flax), tung, and hemp plants have been used for thousands of years as finishes on wood. These are all drying oils, which dry to a film when exposed to air. Hemp seed oil has a high fatty acid content and can take a long time to dry on wood products but is valued in woodworking for being easy to use, food-safe, and having little to no odor. In this study, cold-pressed hemp seed oil, blended with a soybean carrier oil, is examined for efficacy against water intrusion, fungal decay, termite feeding, and other significant characteristics. These components are also being investigated for their ability to protect both softwood and hardwood samples at different percent concentrations.
