Raw Linseed Oil

10 great green houses

Designed by Michelle Kaufmann . Kaufmann is well-known for her prebuilt and custom homes — all of which focus on sustainability and ease of use. Kaufmann homes, like the Custom Home seen above, use eco-friendly materials, low-energy lighting design, energy-efficient building systems and other green features. All of this along with unique and beautiful design elements come together to create a simple and sustainable way of life for each homeowner. Designed by Lundberg Design . The Lundberg Cabin is eclectic, sustainable and beautiful. A perpetual work in progress, the Lundberg is a cross between a warehouse and cabin and boasts an overabundance of materials and components salvaged from demolished structures. Among other amazing features is a salvaged 50,000-gallon water tank turned into an outdoor, 14-foot-deep swimming pool, a 3,000-square-foot vegetable garden and large steel sash windows reclaimed from five different remodeling projects. Designed by Openspace Architecture . The Remainder House was built in a tree-heavy area of British Columbia, but instead of merely tearing out trees to make space, architect Don Gurney built this home in a way that allows people and trees to live together. No trees were removed. This small house instead nestles snugly and naturally into the space allowed by the forest shape, which leaves the land virtually undisturbed. The home also boasts reclaimed Douglas fir wood and reclaimed materials from a warehouse that was already being razed. Designed by Arkin Tilt Architects . This is an excellent example of how anyone can remodel green. Features in this Sonoma Coast home remodel include a renewable energy system that meets virtually all the home's needs and even provides emergency power during grid interruptions. New energy-efficient aluminum-clad wood windows were added to the home along with increased insulation levels throughout. Lastly, this remodel uses salvaged materials both inside and out, including the laundry sink, the range-top oven, interior doors and some light fixtures.

Here is another example of just how clever our ancestors were when it came to figuring things out.  This is a process of using kieselguhr or rottenstone or Tripoli or fossil flour or infusorial earth or fullers earth or diatomaceous earth for they are all the very same thing, to turn raw linseed oil into ‘boiled’ linseed oil without heat.

Above is the control picture of raw linseed oil straight from the can.  I also found I could easily remove the labels from the jars by carefully heating them up with an alcohol lamp then gently pulling them off, sure beats scraping them off with a blade.

Below is one tablespoon of rottenstone in the raw linseed oil and shaken up about a half a dozen times before allowing it to settle.

The photograph below shows the mixture after a few days settling, there is still some turbidity.

And this picture of how the stuff looks after sitting a couple of weeks.  It has clarified more than the chalk/raw linseed oil mixture I did before, but is slightly darker overall.

After a few more experiments I will make a sample of all of these altered oils with the glass smear test and samples on real wood.  I have actually used some of the washed linseed oil on wood and it dried in 24 hours.
