Oops!

I guess Brian’s had a pretty lucky run really, with all the wood for the shelves behaving much as he would have expected. However, on the very last piece the wood split…quite badly. Strangely it happened whilst he was sanding it, ready to be linseed oiled.

It’s quite a long piece of wood, and to create another piece like it he would have to cut another plank, which he’s not keen to do. So he’s trying to fix it.

The first step is to cut the damaged area away, then he can fill it with another piece of wood.

Just need to leave it overnight now and see how it looks tomorrow.
