Why Choose Eco-Friendly Wood Finishes? The Benefits of Arlington Woodworks No. 524
Most commercial wood finishes are packed with harsh chemicals that harm more than just your furniture — they can affect indoor air quality and the environment. At Arlington Woodworks, we believe your furniture care shouldn’t come at a cost to your health or the planet. That’s why we created No. 524, a natural wood balm rooted in craftsmanship, integrity, and sustainability.
Why Traditional Finishes Fall Short
Many common wood polishes and conditioners contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), petroleum byproducts, and synthetic additives. These ingredients may provide short-term shine but often:
Emit harmful fumes
Leave a residue buildup
Accelerate wear over time
More importantly, they can be unsafe for families with pets or young children who come in contact with treated surfaces.
What Makes No. 524 Different
Arlington Woodworks No. 524 was designed with care and purpose. Each jar is handcrafted in small batches using only three USDA-certified organic ingredients:
Flaxseed Oil: Nourishes and protects wood from within
Beeswax: Adds a natural barrier with a soft, lasting sheen
Orange Oil: Offers gentle cleansing and a fresh, subtle scent
Packaged in recyclable glass jars, No. 524 is as mindful about sustainability as it is about performance.
Benefits You’ll Notice Immediately
Rich, natural luster that enhances wood grain without creating a plastic-like shine
Deep hydration that restores tired, dry wood
Safe for the whole home: food-safe, pet-safe, and zero synthetic odors
No residue or buildup, even with repeated use
It’s a wood balm designed to bring your pieces back to life while respecting the materials, the maker, and the home.
