Protect Hard Work™
Made For Work
Walrus Oil was founded by Dave Darr in a small Missouri garage with a simple mission: to create safe, highly-effective wood care products, suitable for any project, and easy enough for the "average Joe" to use. Since 2017, we’ve never looked back, crafting some of the toughest, most reliable wood care products you'll ever find, 100% food-contact safe, pet-safe, and trusted by tens of thousands of woodworkers around the globe. But Walrus Oil isn’t just for pros. With nearly 1 million products sold, it’s for everyone, from side hustlers and creatives to dreamers, rebels, and those who have all the thrills but none of the skills. Our products are damn-near seaworthy, built to withstand everyday wear and tear, so you can confidently protect your stuff. Whether it’s cutting boards, guitars, coffee tables, or chairs, whether you’re working on a new build or a restoration project, if it’s wood, you can Trust the Tusk to keep it out of the landfill and looking great for years to come.
Every Product 100% Food-Contact Safe
Safe For Home
When Walrus Oil was just starting out, Dave’s young son, still a baby at the time, managed to bypass a child safety lock and consumed an entire bottle of antacids. Thankfully, the doctors deemed it harmless, but had it been a toxic cleaner, the outcome could have been tragic. This experience reinforced our commitment to safety. That’s why every Walrus Oil product is crafted with 100% FDA Food-Contact Safe ingredients, and is Certified Plant-Based or Vegetarian by the American Vegetarian Association. Our kitchen products, like Cutting Board Oil, are also NSF Certified. We believe everyone deserves products they can trust, and we’ll never compromise on safety. We proudly list every ingredient on our packaging to ensure full transparency. Learn more about our ingredient transparency here. And just to be clear, we don't test on animals, Woolly included, and yes, all our products are pet-safe!
50,000+ Trees Planted Since 2017
Profits Plant Trees
Walrus Oil commits profits to plant trees for the long-term health of the planet, and since 2017 we've planted over 50,000! Trees keep woodworking sustainable, while also providing sanctuary for wildlife, natural beauty for our eyes, shade for those extra hot days, and places of recreation for all to freely enjoy. Our tree planting efforts are implemented by National Forest Foundation® and Greenspark®, and verified annually by 1% For The Planet®. The majority of the trees are planted in the United States and Kenya, and as an added benefit, this helps support much needed local jobs in rural areas of the world. Every product sold supports this mission and together we can help keep the world wildly beautiful!
