And what in any case is "Danish oil"? Something prepared from bacon fat?

Danish Oil is a nice finish if french polish* is too 'bright' (or you're not skilled enough to use it). You just rub it into the wood with a soft cloth, polishing it dry, and build up a nice gleam with several layers. Dispose of the cloths carefully as they are highly combustible.
*I hope ahinton is not going to ask whether it is French or Polish.It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

All that I would suggest, however, is that, as it is clearly of pan-European application, it might well get purloined in the forthcoming referendum as an illustration of the need to maintain European unity.

Originally posted by french frank View PostI thought you might have noticed that the asterisk (*) came after 'french polish' rather than Danish or Danish Oil, and therefore the footnote referred to french polish rather than Danish Oil. French polish, as far as I know, is not even supposedly Danish.

Originally posted by P. G. Tipps View PostCongratulations on your successful re-configurement, Bbm!
We have been re modelling( I like to think of it as) a garden over the last two weeks. Lots of hard manual work.
I'm knackered. It has gone really well, and the weather has been really kind, though. Most of the tough stuff done for now.
Hurrah.
Cheesecake and some decent music to relax.I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.
