    Aussie Oil

    Anyone tried this? It seems to be similar to Tru Oil but the Australian version, but I can't find reviews about it anywhere. If anyone's tried this and has any insights to share, itd be much appreciated.

    That sounds pretty good. I guess my arm could do with a good work out. Thanks Andrew (and Gavin)!

    I found that it worked well if you give it a few soak coats and then add further coats in small patches at a time to bring the shine.
    Takes a bit of practice, but a pretty good result in the end and far less coats than TO. Another plus is that no wet sanding is required, but you need a nice smooth surface to begin with.

    cheers,
    Gav.
