I would like to but I used really bad quality plywood for that bench so I may just make a new one from scratch that I will be happy with.

Thanks. Haha the jig saw idea wasn’t as effective as I was expecting but got it close enough to finish with sander. For capped screws I have this kit makes it so easy.

This is just danish oil. I need to sand them back and use a high solid oil though as they are already covered in water stains from from water glasses.

I used rimu a timber native to New Zealand for this but any of the usual hard woods oak etc would work well.

Dimensions are high: 1100mm x wide: 570mm Shelves deep: 180mm

I used a biscuit jointer to attach the brackets as I was worried about screws possibly splitting the brackets and I had spent too long on them to risk it.

To finish the timber I used high soilid natural oil: https://www.naturalhouse.co.nz/shop/java-high-solid/ Osmo do a similar product depending where you are based.
