gmcginty 12th October 2004, 11:09 PM Just finished this piece. 1200mm long x 600mm wide x 40mm thick. Finished with Livos Oil.
What do you think of the timber pattern?

vsquizz 12th October 2004, 11:28 PM Bloody ripper Greg. Must have taken you hours to draw all those tiger stripes:D
Seriously good looking piece. Looks more like Sheoak?
Cheers
Baz 13th October 2004, 08:59 PM Greg that is a beautiful piece of fiddle back Jarrah, which Livos oil did you use?
Cheers

Ben from Vic. 14th October 2004, 09:17 PM Very nice.
Love the timber.
gmcginty 15th October 2004, 12:43 AM Hi Baz,
The Livos Oil is called Kunos. Often used in flooring I'm told. Waterproof and hard wearing but only time will tell.

Greg ... I use Kunos for my woodwork almost exclusively after being introduced to it by Neil Scobie. But on table tops and the like watermarks and moisture rings still show so I have been experimenting lately with mixing some polyurethane (Feast Watson Weatherproof) into the Kunos in various proportions (25% poly, 50% poly etc).
How is your table top now after a few months? Any water marks?
Qw
P.S. This reply to your (October 2004) thread a little slow I admit ... I was trying to order a new supply of Kunos over the www and did a google search which came up with your thread I had previously not seen!
gmcginty 10th January 2005, 11:29 PM Hi Qw,
I gave the table away to make room for the next project. Sorry can't give a report.
By the way, I apply the oil sparingly (1 coat) and then wipe vigorously to get any excess off. Feels like I'm polishing off the excess.
Regards
Greg
