Nice job

Great job - love the final product.

Nice work KC. I am a big fan of Danish oil myself. I reckon it is much tougher than Linseed etc.

Very nice mate looking great

That came up nice. I too love danish oil. Tung oil and teak oil go ok too but think danish is the best

Cheers guys for the comments, The wife loves it too, Now the wife wants me to build a deck this year and finish painting the house.

I just used a Tung oil based product on my hardwood garden furniture. Never again....in fkin stinks the place out for ages

Very very cool!!

Awesome KC !, when you sort the deck, get HG round to help, ive heard hes a dab hand with decks

Very sharp! It's cool seeing such a high standard of workmanship when the easy road is so often taken.
