Almost finished the drawers, all made from salvaged wood and recycled boiled linseed oil as a protective coating hopefully it will keep the mice from chewing.

Should have googled it first, linseed oil AKA flaxseed oil. Apparently has some health benifits for both human and rodent.
Flaxseed is recommended for breast cancer in moderation
Flaxseed, also known as linseed, consists of the seeds of the flax plant (Linum usitatissimum).
Flaxseed is a good dietary source of vitamin E, phosphorus, manganese, magnesium, folate, copper and zinc.
Flaxseed is the richest known source of plant lignans, mainly secoisolariciresinol, which are converted by intestinal microbiota to the mammalian lignans enterodiol and enterolactone.
Flaxseed also contains high levels of the omega-3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid and is a good source of melatonin, both of which have been shown to confer protection against breast cancer.
Flaxseed has been shown to have radioprotective, antioxidant and cholesterol-reducing properties.
Flaxseed has been reported to inhibit lung and colorectal cancer in mice.
Consumption of flaxseed has been found to be associated with biological changes that may be protective for prostate cancer, but the relationship between flaxseed consumption and prostate cancer is unclear.
