Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Not a Pirelli, just this years from a supplier. I guessed you would be zooming into that 😂. The German helmet is from the trenches in France. The farmer had used body filler over it and painted it so I’ve stripped it back to as it came out the ground. Just need a sticky carpet now -

it’s been a while but almost finished (just need to wallpaper the white wall) I couldn’t see how to add a video so had to attach screen shots. Thanks for all the advise -

A bit of advise please. Is there a wood filler that would accept the Rustins stain really well or am I best leaving well alone and accepting the gaps. I’m guessing poor stained filler will draw the eye more than the gap against a dark stain -

The small sample is the result of 4 parts dark oak to 1 part mahogany. More of a teak colour but I think it’s not bad. I did 50/50 but it came out carrot 🤣 -

These are the test colours. I do like the rustins dark oak and mahogany ( if I can “brown” it down). Also like the van dyke. -

@Alasdair you kind of answered my next question. I’ve done some colour tests on an off cut and the rustins dark oak and mahogany cover really nice (and a good match for the pine beading). However the mahogany is still way too orange. The pink thing is too scary for my abilities so would can I... -

Progress so far. It’s been a learning curve but I’m quite pleased with how it’s going so far. 3 doors in the wall were a challenge but I found pivot hinges have been the way to go -

How do you find wax wears. Years ago In a previous house I fitted new stair spindles, door frames and skirting and waxed it all in medium oak briswax. It looked good but I found it didn’t wear too will. It gets dirty where hands touched it a lot on the stairs and if you spilt water on it, it... -

Just for reference for other people searching here is my scrap ply with Ronseal walnut with 3 coats. Was just trying it along with other stains. I’m going to order some van dyke to try. -

@9fingers that grain does look good. @AndyT that looks really good, definitely that rich pub colour. Could I put a poly over it to give it a bit of protection. I’ve just put a second coat of Ronseal walnut on a scrap of ply but I think yours looks better. -

Ok first of all I really do appreciate all of you that have taken the time to reply. I can see now that if I want oak I need to buy oak and even with veneer ash or oak it’s looking like hundreds of pounds for the area that I will need to cover. I was always intending to put ply up and also... -

Thanks all. I will look into oak veneered mdf first but I might try Ian’s suggestion on a piece of hardwood ply and see how it comes out. All depends on the budget. -

Hi I’ve currently got a double garage that I’ve converted into a pub. It is plaster boarded but I now want to make some wall panelling out of plywood. I want to stain it dark colour like a traditional British pub but I’m going around in circles deciding what to use. I’ve experimented with Colron...
