  4. Well the elm flooring is finnaly being laid, then I'll be using the pv67 again. Thanks again for the advice 👍
  5. Well it's back at the yard now, it's actually a really nice bit if timber!!
  6. Can you email this to [email protected] If we can arrange our haulier to pass by we could be very interested as we are only in horam
  7. I've done 3, should be enough? Yeah easy to apply bit my word it stinks!! Might have to evacuate the family when I do the floors in it
  8. And a bit of elm flooring with a sorry mug just to test how much abuse we can put this pv67 through. Still a bit reluctant to let the wife on the work top yet though ha ha
  9. What about a pad sander? We contemplated one not sure how good they are for big wide boards?
  10. I have had good results off my table with osmo but it just hasent worked on the worktop, trouble is it's a high traffic area as they say. I did pick up some pv67and I'll try it and I also have some solid elm flooring which I am going to try it on. Read some really good stuff on it earlier so watch this space
  11. Yes it was mastic down. I will just sand it down gain completely poss use a white spirit to make sure no oil is left and yes a polyurethane seal seems to be the way forward. Thanks all for the advise!! Social media working at it's best
  12. Lol should have seen my dads face when it rocked up in the yard, we already have a lot if oak and elm (all English and local) and so wanted something a bit different.
  13. Yes I know about the oils hence can't use some preservers, this is the beauty though if wood, if in doubt you can sand it out. Thanks mark I'll take a look
  14. Hi all we've had an iroko worktop in our kitchen now for less than 6 months and I'm about to resend it for the second time! We first used cooking oil, was told this would be satisfactory for water marks etc.. It wasent. I then re sanded back to it's original and used osmo top oil.. Over Christmas I have not used it's getting funny again? As in looks old. Can anyone reconend anything else they would use on an iroko worktop? I have been told to try howdens worktop oil and dealer but thought I'd just ask here first. The second photo is an area that's never touched and is how I intended the main work bit to stay
  15. Ha ha accidently edited and uploaded, good video either way ha ha
  16. Technically it can be classed as a crack which is frowned upon when grading.
  17. Thank you. We have plenty of wide slabs but like above has said they are in raw form A few photos of slabs in the yard and a few after cleaning up
  18. Ash can discolour if left cut down too long but to some people that's how they prefer it
  19. We are experiencing a shortage Down in Sussex! Enough to keep us busy but yes it is stating to run out.
  20. Not very burry just some very wide trees
