Hi,
I've built a small wooden box about the size of a shoe box.
The timber is 100yo Eucalypt, very dense, very hard, very brittle. It has a lovely tight grain and a red hue. It also has quite a few holes with woodfiller.
I think oil would be the best finish to bring out the grain, for some reason I'm just not keen on a lacquer or varnish. I like the rough and ready look of the timber.
Is oil a good idea or am I making a mistake? What oils would be suitable? Where can I purchase them?
Many thanks for your help,
Jim.
