Well done lad. What type of wood is that?

Sadly, I have no idea. I was sent a box of scrap wood from Drac and he did provide a list of what scraps he sent, but I misplaced it, so it is left to the imagination, or to someone better at identifying wood than I. Thanks for all of the kind words!

Well, regardless of what wood it happens to be you did a nice job.

Well, at any rate it has a beautiful colour to it. Is that its natural finished colour or did you stain/treat it in some fashion? (just curious).

Thanks for the kind comments.
I soaked it in teak oil for a couple of hours, rubbed it dry, let stand overnight, then applied 2 coats of wax, buffing between coats. I prefer using wax over urethanes, it leaves a more natural look and feel in my opinion.
