thanks paul,,sold my staghorn bench today,,,,

yep all three still going strong mate,although need to repair the tops,they`ve split a bit where the ground was hard,,,my fault,,,made some more up,,do it as a demo now and again if im bored of turning,,,
-
sounds good mate, I have very little sucess drying 1"oak even stickered right,and under cover, seems to warp quite alot,, I tend to cut it slightly thicker now and plane it up, be interested to see how it drys,,, I rent a lucas in occasionally as it really does cut true boards,fast,,,
-
this was the bench I sold, yesterdaay, very similar too the one I made last time(with the boring legs) seems if you get the right wood, it sells itself,,
-
first day of my show today,got a good lead for a hotel chain today,,so fingers crossed,,,sold a bench too,,,considering the weather,,,,,bonus...
-
thanks guys,,,the top is cut free hand on the bandsaw willy nilly(jigsaw would do) then I lay the first cut over the second board and scribe the same wiggly line,trying to make sure both boards are same width,there abouts,,,not that critical, the rails are free hand too,then I flip the second one over so it runs the opposite way on the other side,,,its alll trial and error,and suppossed to be funky, I finnished another bench yesterday,but was too late to take photos,,,,got my first show tomorrow so shall see how we get on,,,
-

have coated a recent bench in the letonkinios yatch varnish,,and as a durable finnish,vu resistant,,sure its fine,feels a little rough to the touch but is easy to apply, on anything I put in doors I use chesnut foodsafe oils,,love the finnish,and its organic,and safe,,,, on the bench I just made,,used liberons furniture oil,,,,seems ok ,,easy to apply,,but only time will tell,,,it says it repells uv light etc,,,but wouldnt you if you where trying to sell a product,,,I presume theve done some research,,hopefully so for £17 per litre,,
