I am posting some photos here to show how nice it looks with a natural finish on it. I used Danish Oil and a soft cloth to polish it. Mike          | ||

It doesn’t make a lot of difference what type of oil finish you use as long as you wipe down the excel oil before it dries and your 2 cents is always welcome. Mike | ||

I have a good size plank of Yellowheart that I got from Bell Forest and and have been thinking I should try to mill some for exterior planking for a project I have underway. I believe you did it for me.  [ Edited Fri Mar 29 2013, 01:53pm ] | ||
