Chancer Posted June 8, 2007 Author Share Posted June 8, 2007 I am still keeping my head low after maligning you and then finding out that you weren't actually banned!That and making an oak gate out of reclaimed SNCF wagon timbers (and in doing so finding the problem with my planer).I might even try again with photobucket (now that my computer has been decoked) and post some photos.

Chancer Posted June 9, 2007 Author Share Posted June 9, 2007 I said reclaimed not liberated[:D]Just because I didn't pay for the timber does not make it nicked although it must be one of the few times I havn't liberated in tha name of recycling.

Austin Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Hi, Twinkle,nice table.I would guess that the difference in the colour of the 'black' and 'white' squares is starting to disappear - this is a normal result of ageing, oxidising etc, and cannot be totally prevented, but it may be possible to delay it.You might like to try shellac. I don't know how easily available it is where you are, but you should be able to source some from the internet. I would recommend buying the shellac flakes, and dissolving them in methylated spirits. It is a bit of a black art, and I am in no way an expert, but it does seem to maintain the paleness of light woods well. If you are keen at ahving a go, let me know and I will try to talk you through it.AustinPS It's a very green material, and is actually edible - I believe it's E904 in food labelling-speak.
