TV cabinet from reclaimed Oregon Pine

[Joos]

This TV cabinet was made for my son from Oregon Pine floor beams reclaimed from an old building which was demolished in Middelburg Mpumalanga

 

[wow]

I love reclaimed wood, and you certainly did it justice with this project. I looked at your miters and immediately checked your signature to see if you had a Kapex. Yep - and it shows.

Nice job, and thanks for sharing!

Great work, I love the rich gold color. What kind of finish did you use?

Thank you wow.
Believe it or not, but back in 2006 the mitres were made between an Elu MH182 skill saw mounted on a small Elu table and a Festo TS55 on a MFT800 table. My Kapex is only two weeks old now and I have also since then traded in the Festo for a Festool TS55.

Thank you Jason.
The finish is a local Genkem polyurethane matt clear varnish called Nova 17 Novathane which is heat (to some extent), water, alcohol and stain resistant. I have since then experimented with Rustin's Danish Oil and Rubio Monocote to obtain a natural look finish. Albeit that these two products are much more expensive than Nova 17, I have found the latter to be superior.
Sure you will find a local equivalent for Nova 17 over there.
