Red Gum Entertainment Unit

[ROb McGilp]

Hello all,

This  unit is 1.8m long x 0.45m wide and 0.5m tall. It has  three drawers on each side and a cabinet in the middle.
The finish is an Australian product called Organoil Hard Burnishing Oil, which contains Tung Oil and some secret herbs and spices and is designed to be wet sanded with a ROS to high grits.
Typically, in a case like this, I use my ETS150/3 and sand to 400g then saturate with oil and sand from 400g through to 4000g (Platin 2 pad), then let it sit for about a week. The finish is then highly resistant to heat, liquids and most other things that are likely to land on it.

Regards,

Rob

Very nice.  I like the color.  How red would the wood be without the oil?  I work with Jatoba a lot and sometimes I get about the same color.  Again, very nice design.
