The search results provide information on green wood products, including details on ingredients, materials, and positive and negative aspects. Here are the key points:

• Copper-Green Wood Preservative: This is a wood preservative that is made up of 10% copper naphthenate and 90% inert ingredients. It is an oil-based product that is used to treat exterior wood surfaces, such as fence posts, poles, foundations, sills, decks, boats, and all wood exposed to moisture or weather. It is effective in preventing decay, blue stains, and insect attack on wood, and it also controls warping, swelling, shrinking, and end checking caused by changes in moisture content of lumber and plywood products.

• Wood as a green product: Wood is renewable, sustainable, recyclable, grown locally, versatile, biodegradable, and has a smaller energy, water, and carbon life cycle footprint than other products. Trees remove carbon from the atmosphere and store it in wood, which helps offset carbon dioxide emissions. About 99% of each log processed winds up in a usable product, reducing waste to near zero. Wood requires less energy and water to produce than other construction materials. Idaho wood products are made from timber that’s harvested sustainably, ensuring sustainable forests in perpetuity.

• Wood finishes: Some wood finishes contain toxic and polluting ingredients, such as toluene and xylene. Natural oils are a healthier alternative to varnish, as they are easy to touch up by simply rubbing in another coat every year or so, avoiding having to sand down the surface and reapply when areas start to fade. The Real Milk Paint Co. offers sustainable finishing products that contain no or low VOCs, such as pastes and waxes, as well as all-natural oils such as tung and hemp. They also carry a natural citrus solvent that lets you thin down both paints and finishing products as needed for a safe alternative to CFC-laden products.

In summary, green wood products are renewable, sustainable, and have a smaller environmental footprint than other products. Copper-Green Wood Preservative is an effective wood preservative that prevents decay, blue stains, and insect attack on wood. Natural oils are a healthier alternative to varnish, and The Real Milk Paint Co. offers sustainable finishing products that contain no or low VOCs.
