On exterior surfaces, it lets the rain evaporate naturally - what would be unnatural evaporation?
"The wood is allowed to breathe which means it is naturally protected" - what in the world does this mean?
They keep the wood elastic, prevent its becoming brittle?

The finish is a combination of sunflower, thistle, and soyabean oils and carnauba and candelillo waxes.

What is your definition of a "utility bowl?"  If it is a food bowl that will be washed often with a mild dish soap, the wax coating will wear off, leaving an oil finish.

1. I agree
2. I agree
3. Letting cut wood breathe is what makes it rot, (oxygen is the enemy)
4. Coat it with wax and oil and if will "feel" fine. Not all woods contain elastic properties. If your talking about seasonal expansion and contraction, properly sealed wood has less movement than raw wood and is considered more stable.

If you don't seal the pores wood can rot from the inside out
If you don't seal/coat the surface, wood can rot from the outside in
