• removing water stains

    I've done this on some teak with the ironing method.
    Came out 100%!

    Dark marks are a diff matter! I have a dark ring on my current coffee table without any luck. I've left it there as it doesn't really matter as I have shit all on the table and is covered most of the time!

  • I tried that on a teak veneer sideboard, it worked for a few seconds but the stain came back after a while. Meh.

    I have an old french octagonal cafe table with three spiral legs and a detailed inlay of swallows in the top. It's pretty old and in a terrible state. Stained, damaged, bits of edging missing. Anyone recommend someone who can renovate? Don't think it's overly valuable so I don't want to spend a fortune on it.

    Also, I have always wanted a solid herringbone parquet floor and it may finally become a reality in our new place. Anyone got any tips or experiences?

    Love this one.

  • Get it done by experts. A pal of mine didn't and its already coming apart... there was an advert for some for sale in my local pub recently (E3).

  • i have done herringbone oiled solid oak in my flat. i second the above comment, herringbone needs quality wood, properly dried, otherwise you might not see the benefit of doing it the first place.
