Re: Grenadilla Oil from Doctor's Products

(Disclaimer- I sell plant derived and genuine Grenadilla oils)
Petroleum based oils will destroy the structure of wood over time - my own experimental evidence.

The natural oils in plants have the unique ability to bind with and interact with water - otherwise the plant would not survive - but petroleum oils eschew and do not interact with water. A certain moisture and oil content is IMO necessary for the structure, shape, and resonance qualities of wood. Plant oils offer a unique water buffering ability, not petroleum oils which will displace water, in that excess water is easily given up but a certain amount is tightly bound to the surface of the plant oil molecule which takes a large amount of energy (drying) to displace.

Plant and nut oils have over the centuries been used to preserve and protect fine wood objects.
