Damn that's pretty. You must get a real kick out of walking into the shed and seeing it, knowing you made it. If you don't, you've been too close to it for too long - stand back and take a fresh look at it, and feel truly proud of what you've done.
Hope you have someone you can pass it on to who appreciates it, because it will outlast all of us reading this thread.

I sanded the bench back and applied Hard Burnishing Oil (HBO) - huge mistake!
The top looked horrible as the Rustins Danish Oil (DO) and Organoil HBO were not compatible. I did ask the makers of the HBO if it was compatible on 31 Oct via email but, as I had no reply after two weeks, I went ahead anyway.
The top took on a dry appearance and was very blotchy, not at all what I wanted. So I sanded it all back and just went with the Rustins DO which gave the result I wanted. The timber is sealed, not slippery, repairable and has a satin appearance which is important as I do not want a glossy bench top.
Here are some pics, I am pretty pleased with the domino patches, they worked well and are very fast to do.

Groggy,
What did you use to smooth the edges of your dog holes please?

Looks too good to get dirty.
Cliff.
If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

I have a great little router bit from Carbi-tool that has a 2.5mm roundover - perfect for this. I practiced on a few bits of scrap then did the holes in the bench. The edges of the bench itself have a 5mm roundover so the vac hose ribs travelled smoothly over the edge. Hose snags give me the irrits.
Yep, but it will! I need to let this finish harden for a few weeks then I'll begin the 'aging' process

I'd offer to christen the bench and build my next piece of furniture on it, but I think you'd be horrified at some of my methods and eject me before its completion.

I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.
Regards, Woodwould.
