How to make birch oil   Recently updated !


Recently I made some birch oil using a couple of tins.  First time around wasn’t as successful as I’d hoped due to the shape of 1 of the tins, but the second attempt was great. It’s a great resource and can be used to protect wood and leather items such as axe handles and knife sheaths.

We make birch oil on our 5 Day IOL Bushcraft Competency Diploma course.

You can see loads of photos from those courses, as well as all the rest of the fantastic courses that we run, on our Facebook page.
