Thanks I hadn't considered that. I am planning on doing other versions in bare wood and just oiled and the like with different plugs. The scorched version, I was going to heavily scorch to make it almost jet black so it will have all sorts of cracks and mottling. I don't think it will be a...
I considered that and yeah I'm look for a flush finish which I think you could achieve with them but I can't find any in the regeion of 8mm or so diameter. Shelves are only 16mm
Thanks. I did want a metal plug finish though not wood as I am going to be doing a deep burn on the unit so it's almost jet black and I wanted the contrast of brass or brushed steel.
I think what I'll do is what you say and countersink and plug with timber that is NOT scorched to provide...

I'm contemplating having it as a side project and using it myself and just slowly restoring it properly and then PU sealing it and looking after it and just keeping it for myself. I will have to hand tenon multiple pieces and scarf joint or brass rod about 5 legs plus sand the bejesus out of it...
Awesome feedback. I hadn't considered that fact.
This is a larger project so I am going to continue to think on it. I have a pine bookshelf that will look great charred. And I also have Osmo oil.
If I was going to char the Teak for outdoor use I was going to have to buy Polyurethane oil...
Not really bothered about that. Just trying to turn around an item that I paid £130 for 6 chairs with cushions and a table and make it look nice and a few hundred quid
I do agree but this has been painted with Ducks Back wax enriched preserver and god knows how many times it's been jet washed...
Thanks. I'm wondering how Ronseal 2 part wood filler will like being torched. I'll do a test sample.
I have a few small parts that need complete replacing and tennonising (is that a word) I wonder if using Oak instead of Teak would hurt being as I plan to torch the timber? Obviously Teak is...
