Thanks Tony,colour looks better than shown, with the open nature of the timber my usual ubeaut shellawax finish was not going to work. I may knock this back a bit with super fine steelwool.

Bloody beautiful Ian, well done and a credit to you.
Jarrah is well known for it coarse grain and natural fissures / features that add character.
Should sell well. Cheers

I use Tung Oil diluted with mineral spirits, about half & half, then more TO for later coats, which makes a nice soft sheen. Many coats slowly builds to shiny.

Beautiful piece.
