preprius Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 (edited) nice blue background on top. You did good job on the rounded top. There is another type of wood from Oregon called Myrtle. Smells nice also. Edited April 28, 2022 by preprius John B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is another type of wood from Oregon called Myrtle. Smells nice also. Thanks Mark. Royal Blue or Red seem to be my go to colours. Most of the older buildings especially large warehouses used Oregon as beams and the Gold mines in Kalgoorlie used it extensively for underground timbers and, Head frames and buildings. I only use 2nd pieces that I happen to find. Currently I have 5@ 6" x 6" veranda posts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finished with 3 coats of gloss lacquer. The colours are great, sad the timber is a little soft.
