Lovely piece of work.. did you have to wait for the wood to be dry or will the oil stop it from cracking?

The wood had been cut quite a long time, so that and the oil fingers crossed. I did have it sitting in my boiler house too.

Cracking stuff, don't normally like the highly shiny finished stuff but this is ace :-)
