[Greenbuilding] Low VOC floor stain?

[Jeffrey Osier-Mixon]

Are you looking specifically for a stain (color) or a sealer, and what 
kind of floor?  Following anecdote is about sealing a wood floor with 
tung oil.

We milled our own flooring (hemlock, from our own property) and finished 
with pure tung oil in 50% solution with orange solvent.  We covered the 
entire floor with a liberal amount, wiped it down, and went away for a 
day, then repeated 3-4x.  

The resulting finish is breathtaking, although hemlock is a softwood and 
takes damage fairly readily.  The floor shows no water damage whatsoever 
despite periodic mopping, spilled tea, biological incidents involving 
cats, etc. even though this floor is installed in the kitchen, where we 
also have our laundry.  We do have tile in the bathrooms, but I almost 
regret not putting the wood there as well.  Send email if you want a photo.
