Our Purpose
Protect Hard Work™
Made For Work
Walrus Oil was born in a small Missouri garage, by Dave Darr, with a mission to create safe and highly-functional wood care products, suitable for nearly any woodworking project, but easy enough for the "average Joe". Since 2017, we've never looked back, brewing up the most hardworking wood care products you'll ever find, 100% food-contact safe, pet safe, simple to use, and trusted by tens of thousands of woodworkers worldwide. But Walrus Oil isn't just for professionals; with nearly 1 Million products sold to date, it's truly for everyone, from side-hustlers and creatives to dreamers, rebels, and those with all thrills but no skills! Walrus Oil is damn-near seaworthy too, so you can confidently protect your stuff from everyday wear and tear. Whether it's cutting boards, guitars, coffee tables or chairs, from new builds to restoration projects, if it's wood, you can Trust the Tusk to save it from the landfill.
Safe For Home
Around the time Walrus Oil began, Dave's son (a baby at the time) bypassed a child safety lock, and ate an entire bottle of antacids. While the doctors deemed it harmless, if it happened to be a toxic-cleaner, the story could have been tragic. This is one of many reasons why every Walrus Oil product is made with 100% FDA Food-Contact Safe ingredients, certified plant-based or vegetarian by the American Vegetarian Association, and our kitchen products, such as Cutting Board Oil, are also NSF Certified. Everyone deserves safe products and peace of mind, this is something we will never compromise. We also clearly list every ingredient on our packaging!

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 I believe we can help keep the world wildly beautiful!" If you've ever purchased a product from us, thank you for being a part of our story.
