Haven't got one, always done it the hard way, which is why none of my waxed/oiled items (table, pelmets, shelves) sparkle. :dogeye: Maybe you've inspired me to get a polisher Murray P, prob 10 bucks in the Worryhouse. :thumbs: |

| 427176 | 2006-02-05 07:13:00 | Hi Murray. A lot depends on what you have done to the Jarrah and how it has taken. I recently sorted an old Jarrah table which had been used outdoors and somewhat neglected and the folks wanted to move it indoors. Hard as the hobs of hell but lovely. Old grown stuff which tends to be a lot darker than recent plantation grown stuff. We virtually turned the whole lot inside out and reversed the top segments. Did much as you did with yours, cleaning and scraping. Just used Tung oil as a finish. It has had umpteen coats over six months and will probably get at least another coat a year for the rest of it's present owner's life. Although very hard and close grained, it can have lovely colour and grain - I wish you well with it. | Scouse (83) | ||
