Books any youtube aren't mutually exclusive, books can be full of inspiring photos in a way yt isnt, yt can show techniques in a way books struggle to. Factor in pinterest and forums like this one, though, and books start to struggle to compete

Moisture content has bern really high around here moisture condensing on roads and pavements, on any cold surface, would think a cold black surface would be an excellent condenser...

It does dry clear. You only notice there's a creamy colour in the liquid if you splash it on white gloss....

Seems likely one face is wetter than the other, if there's no rush, I would let the timber equalise, the warp should disapear

Forgot to add, I tried very hard not to remove the surface of the timber to keep its colour, its finished with 5 coats of diamond clear floor wax

Sorry Artie, was still working on the posting, I am still learning my way around the photo posting widgets

My stairs originally had a varnish on the outer thirds to make the treads each side of a runner look like mahogany. Nasty stuff I couldn't fully remove but nice in a way as it shows the history of the woodwork

I'll try to post something tomorrow

My other half also saw the pinterest stairs, she kinda liked the way they look stripped back. After about 6 months, the colour differences across the stair tread start to equalise. It is an awful lot of graft though.

I belong to a friendly little forum where participants have to join using verified real names and submit posts using their first name and surname initial but it still didn't stop a huge row erupting and shredding the forum. Even using verified ID doesn't stop stuff happening

Amazing, well done Glitch

I can kinda see how Watsons could scribble down to that.

I found a website listing all the professional photographers in the UK from 1840 to 1940 and there are two listings for Joseph Wake (maybe father and son- supposition on my part) but no dates or location . Dunno if its any help.

Bound to be a local history society in the area on FB, try posting the picture ?

Cursive f has a forward loop above the line and a backward loop below the line, third letter in the mid word has a backward lower loop, so most likely an f. Last word has a capital, then a letter starting with a riser to the top of the letter, third letter is an i, see where the dot is?

Really can't see how a single vertical crossed by a single horizontal can be anything other than a T Ooh, that sounded cross on a re-read, apologies, I'm not saying that crossly, just confuddled

The middle name has me foxed. I think Waf but the last letter(s) have me beat - most likely an n r or ri, so Wafn, Wafr, or Wafri

Last name might be Trinkley, that search engine lists an artist called Karla Trinkley, maybe Joseph W is a relative?
