Having talked through the options and the relative pros and cons of each, she's decided to go down the route of osmo wood protector and then osmo top oil as a finishing coat. Main reasons being to retain a more natural wood finish, and to eliminate possibility of flaking. She's aware it will...

Thats interesting, thanks. Does woodskin have a particularly glossy finish to it? I'm keen for it to retain the wood character with just a satin sheen. Wonder what the colour change on cedar would be like also.

Yep, that photo is not long after the sparky had tested the shower so it was 'freshly wet', to be fair it does dry out fine. There is some residual staining from over the years. Totally agree, I'm not going to be doing it my house, buts it's not a bad job, and is certainly, erm... different?

It was installed by a previous owner who's since passed away, apparently was a Mason, but to be fair he's done a fairly good job all things considered. It's been there quite a while, getting on for a decade at least... Thanks for the advice, can't work out how to quote them all, but yes, I was...

Double post, sorry

Any you'd recommend? Again, not a finish I'm used to using too much. Got some limited experience with West system... Only concern I had with finish such as resin/poly etc is preventing it flaking and peeling, I can't access the back of the boards to coat the entire thing. Any thoughts? And...

Yeh, I did try that. There's alot of conflicting views on it. The one treatment that crops up regularly though is paraffin oil, which is not a finish I've ever encountered or used 🤷‍♂️ I guess a sauna doesn't have direct water hitting it as such, like a shower does. I half wonder if I just go...

Right on! 😎 Thanks for the welcome

Have taken on an interesting little job and am at a loss how best to go about finishing it. As the tile says, I've been asked to sand up and (potentially oil) a wooden shower cubicle... You heard right 😅 I'm fairly sure it's white cedar planks, then a slate shower tray. Some of the trim is in...

Hello all, Greetings from Cornwall, after several years making furniture for superyachts I went self employed 18 months ago (best thing I ever did). Although my work is now more varied and theres less time spent at the bench, I specialise in 2nd fix domestic carpentry and joinery solutions...
