I have just coated a re claimed pie scaffold board worktop with Osmo Polyx oil 3044 Raw Matt. Great clear whitish finish without the pine turning orange. All the dents, scratches etc filled with epoxy resin. But still looks bit dull compared to the other worktops in the room which are oak...

Looks as though I am going to be busy for the next couple of years.

Just taken delivery of an oak worktop. The guy who made it recommends Danish oil for oiling it both side 4 or more times continually without letting it dry.
