Maybe this is why my 1910-20 table is so light in colour on the top compared with the centre of the boards. I might try some oxalic acid on the underneath to see how that works.
I was told of a formulae but didn't write it down. I know it was 1/4:1/4:1/4:14. Something like boiled linseed oil/????
Cheers, Nick

Not sure what you mean there Just 20% oil the rest turps. Its mainly used for cutting back tired finishes before re polishing . Where it nice on raw wood is where the grain is standing up a bit like it does after being wet . And its something where your not wanting a heavy polish job. like if you made a chopping board. you can fine sand it with the o&t and then buff it off . it will feel very smooth and nice and lightly oiled . With a rubber of thin shellac very quickly put over it .Just a few . it looks great quick. And its nice and thin . Where the old guys were using it was for a different reason . They were letting the water based dry filler soak it up because it improved the way it made the light dry filler look.

Oxalic acid found :)
Thank you for the help as today I bought 2 kg of oxalic acid at that "B" store. Mind you the first denied they sold it and then not this store and then not in paint section until finally found in the builders section. Sometimes they make it hard even if you know the exact brand and name of the product.
I'm letting this project sit for a little while as I have a shed to reorganise, piano stool to recondition, sideboard to tidy before moving into house and a miners day bed to fix and ready for use. I'll be back with more photo's when I get some more progress.
Cheers,
