It is annoying that the photo has gone, but it wasn't as you describe here. It looked more like the piece had been finished with a bandsaw and varnished, but it was smoother than if it had been prepared that way. It wouldn't have looked out of place as a fake rustic chain pub table. It looked...

just make sure that whatever you buy recommends cleaning the brushes with white spirit. I am not sure if this is all polyurethane varnish. I had a choice of several varnishes in wilko, but there was only 1 or 2 that were not water based. It is one of the things that I find easier to go and buy...

It is worth looking out for makes like Elliott, walker turner, champion as well as the meddings and fobcos. There must be more but those seem to slip under the radar value wise. Everybody seems to know about meddings these days!
