• 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!

    No, this is it. I'm not re-making this whole part. That's 3 days work. I'm stuck with making the best of the ebonising I've done.

    Love it! And I'm happy with it spread as thickly as that. However, if you want something which really is revolting, try the Australian...

    Looooooove Marmite, but it's way too salty! A quick question to Google suggests that Bovril has even more salt than Marmite - Rob

    That can work well on good or whole old film finishes, e.g., shellac where the aim is to clean years of grime off and add a bit of...

    I'll go stronger than that. I'll say it DOES leave steel particles behind, and virtually no matter what you put on the wood you will get...
