Hi all,
This is just a 300×170 x 90mm desk box with a pivoting lid. The timbers are Red Gum and Wenge, the base is Red Gum also.
Finish is Scandinavian oil friction sealed to 4000g.
Basically, I dry sand to 400g with either a Festool RO150 or ETS150/3, then wet sand from 400 up to 4000g using the ETS150/3. There is no further finish added as I want to see how the oil alone stands up to heavy traffic.
Regards,
Rob

Very nice. You stuck with a clean, simple design and you are showing off the natural beauty of wood. That’s a style I really like. Those are beautiful pieces of wood.
