Hi I always use Teak Oil as I find it soaks in better than danish oil or theres Osmo but thats expensive ,at the mo I have this Spanish 2 stage stuff first coat is an anti fungicide and then a top coat it works really well comes from Wood Finishes in Yeovil ,but my go to finish is always Teak Oil -

First day back milling, had a bit of an issue with the mill vibrating but sused that out some of the feet had come loose I might swap the nuts for nylock, used the torque wrench set to the same as the old mill and that sorted the tension so a good day, half a butt of monkey puzzle to go and then its Walnut then Mullberry what a cool start to the year. Happy New Year everyone

I have seen nice big slab tables made from it but on an tv program from the US dont know if it would be a diffrent type ,if it was me I would be tempted to mill a few 4/6 inch slabs strap them up and see what happens even if it cracks badly it could be used for resin tables

Very cool floors ,also seen the penny floors ,I dont think the rustins stuff my mate used was that expensive ,just gashed my lip on a sharp can of beer 2bits of kitchen roll to make it stop bleeding
-
Hi Rustins do a resin for wood floors I helped a mate do his it was engineered oak flooring but I think you could use anything that was dry enough we just mixed it up and poured it on not very thick but when dry it was cool as sadly he is now divorced and moved or I would have taken you some photos

I have a 240 makita track saw and its ace a real good bit of kit the only down side is it will only cut 2inch deep I do have a monster of an old makita circular saw but sadly it will not run on the track and they dont make a plate to convert ,I defo would not get rid of my table saw though who ever said that if you have a track saw you dodnt need a table saw is totaly wrong I think .
