This pressure treated railing was dried out and the acrylic stain that was on it had failed plus the wood warped. I remove the old layer of stain with my in fared paint remover then oiled the wood with raw organic linseed oil and finished it with linseed oil varnished. over a year later it still looks great. The longevity of this finish is well over ten years!! Unheard of in direct sunlight.
Old windows rejuvenated with Allback Organic linseed oil paint!
I started to redo the windows on this beautiful, early 1900s row house in NW Washington, D.C. using chemical-free, organic Allback linseed oil paint and products! The windows are in rough shape with most of the old paint and glazing coming. The wood is very dried out – something the raw linseed oil can help reverse when applied after the prep work. One advantage of using the Allback putty for re-glazing the windows is that you paint right away and don’t need to allow for dry time. The putty is also used to fill gaps and defects in the wood. Here are some before, after prep phase, and finished painted photos. More to come as this project progresses! 
Refinishing decks with pine tar and raw linseed oil is a supier way to preserve your deck using chemical-free products that were meant for wood. No need to power wash, which puts too much water into the wood and ultimately damages when finished with acrylic products that trap the moisture inside, creating mold and rot. My method is to first clean the deck with linseed oil soap, then apply the raw linseed oil and pine tar mixture. One coat is usually one coat is enough. This works best when the deck has not been previously painted or stained prior. Light sanding may be required to allow the products to fully penetrate into wood.

Creating our Adirondack Chairs
I just finished these Adirondack Chairs created from all my old skis! They came out great and are very comfortable. It’s a unique design using all re-claimed pieces to create a very durable chair that’s also a terrific conversation starter. I used an organic, raw linseed oil finish on the wood frames, which gives it a rich look. Every time I sit down in them memories come flooding back: going 80mph, first Whistler trip, the thrill of just skiing!
What a fun project and done just in time for summer!

Transformed mahogany table with Linseed oil wax
I refinished this early 20th century mahogany table. The table’s finish was failing lots of cup marks along with disintegrating varnish. I removed the old varnish and finished the table with raw linseed oil and linseed oil wax. You can now see all the beautiful grains in the wood and patterns. Have SWAB, Inc. bring back to life your next old piece of furniture!
Great images of Frank Llyoyd Wright’s Boynton House
Big thanks out to Jim Liebel for providing these high quality images of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Boynton House in Rochester New York. Jim was the amazing woodworker on this historic project! He made most of the cabnitry, built-ins, furniture, and all of the new trim that was used in this home. Believe it or not about seven miles of trim was used to finish this home.
SWAB Inc. was the finisher on this amazing project including the furniture, cabinetry and builtins along with all the trim and doors, It took over two years to complete and I was involved for a year and a half. SWAB Inc. also was the painter of all the Exterior trim including the pergola and garage. This was a monumental task and i’m proud to be apart of such a historic renovation.
I used organic linseed oil and linseed oil varnish on the kitchen counters and exterior doors, the original wood refrigerator. In addition the original kitchen which was used in the basement was refurbished with linseed oil soap and linseed oil wax as the finish.
There was a great documentary done on this restoration, WXXI’s Frank Lloyd Wright’s Boynton House, The Next Hundred Years. Enjoy!
