I've finished gluing the table and have cut it to size. It's got about 50 biscuit joints in it so should be strong enough.
I decided to use a liming wax to make the overall colour a bit lighter and then finished in danish oil so it can handle the missus pouring wine over it :-(
The lime brings out the grain nicely. You use a wire brush to remove some of the softer growth and then push the wax into the voids you've created. A good wipe off and seal with danish. Lovely!
Just need to fit it. The van it off to Kidderminster tomorrow to have the Turbo Diesel fitted, can't wait!
The rain stopped for a while this afternoon so I've also done the machine glaze and waxed it. Doesn't look half bad now. Obviously no where near as good as a proper sprayer could do, but not at all bad for a DIY.
