Re-finishing Blue Gum Dining Table

[shuteman]

I built a dining table out of Sydney Blue Gum (from reclaimed railway sleepers) a few years ago. It was finished with a series of applications of Linseed Oil with decreasing amounts of Gum Turps - then buffed with a wax.

It has been in storage for the past 3 months where a water pipe burst - saturating the table (and everything else). Unfortunately the table requires reworking due to some warping of the timber.

As I wasn't particularly happy with the original finish this is a good opportunity to get it right. Is there any products available, or a good home-brew that is a mix between oil and polyurethane? I would ideally like a wet-look finish.

Thanks for any suggestions
Andrew
