Actually the default is what you switched it back to, you just have changed that yourself somewhere along the way 😀

How do you change the view Steve?

Finally got to the stage of adding the Osmo hard wax to the unit. Will dull down to a mat sheen but happy with the result so far.

 

Just need to build the lower shelf now.

 

 

Nice work. Shame about the measuring duck up. Hopefully the top stays flat ish.

You think it might move? 
 

its 5” thick and been drying for over 20 years. It’s also been kept in my workshop that regularly reaches 23c during the day for over a year.

Maybe there's a "most notifications" badge in the offing?

My answer to that is who knows. But, the likelihood Depends on how bad it was before you machined it. 

If it was very wonky before you machined then likely to move again. If it was nice and flat before then it will probably stay that way. The chances of it staying dead flat are very low imo.

Well who knows indeed. 

 

It was very flat before the machining, it seems like its not moved at all in the 20 years its been drying. 

 

Im quietly confident its not gonna move any further to be honest. But I'll report back if I'm wrong, Im happy to admit to my mistakes.

Not mistakes. Just timber. Particularly oak. If it dried flat you may be lucky.
