Here's the test piece, just glued, 3mm boards on 5mm ply, half short half long of the pieces with nail holes, and I didn't go overboard on the glue. I'll put this on a high kitchen shelf above the kettle where it'll get regularly steamed then get cold overnight.
Left side is danish oil, right is tung oil, 4 applications each - am not necessarily seeking comments on the finishing but I prefer the danish already, the tung oil has too much of a sheen as it appears now anyway, 18 hours after the last application.
..and yep, I need more practice on the bandsaw :^) - and need to make a slightly angled fence the way it likes to cut, the blade was wandering towards the fence given half the chance.
Now I got some 9mm OSB (for nothing !) that's the backing I'll use, I'd still like to stick to 3mm boards if I can, gives me 2 pieces per plank with planed edges to stick, plus leaves the central piece pleasantly wavy on both large faces, for something else in the vicinity.
