Howdy,

Jst want to work out what kind of staining/oiling/combo/finish looks good with Kapur Timber.

Ive put together this decking area in our backyard - exposed to full sun and was hoping for a finish that resembles jarrah (to a degree). But I'm open to any suggestions.


cheers

Due to the overwhelming reponse to my query (sarc) - I took my chances with Sikkens Cetol HSL (teak) as a finish for the timber. Initially i was really impressed by the look of it within the first hour of application - the features in the wood were really prominent. After about 4hrs though, it had gone a little bit dull and reddish (despite the more 'brown' appearance it had earlier) - though I assume another coat or 2 should liven it up a little.

thanks anyway and till next time (probably cabinets in the kitchen I expect)
