GruffaloGriff 1,859 Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Well done. Nice natural look. The shapes on the two woods flow nicely together. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neil cooney 10,416 Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Very nice. If I was joining two different pieces of wood together a brass or silver collar in between would be nice. What are you going to stain it with ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

King. 215 Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 Had a coat of Danish oil but no idea what stain? Nice stick mate. I've used tea to stain wood in the past just a thought for you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GruffaloGriff 1,859 Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 Looks alright natural but if you want to stain you would need to either cut through the Danish oil or get something that will stick on top. A nice natural way to darken wood is soak wire wool in vinegar overnight then rub it into the wood. It reacts with the tannin in the wood and darkens the wood itself rather then a coat on the surface, leaving no brush marks etc. Can oil/wax etc on top. If you rub it in with the wire wool it will cut through the Danish oil. Only caution- i have taken oak nearly black with a couple of coats, don't know about hazle, may darken at a different rate so would experiment on some scraps. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
