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.

A fine interpretation of an historic image. It's great to see hand-crafted work like this in an age of mass production. Keep sharing the pictures.
