Thanks guys
I think it must be a very flattering photo.
It actually looks pretty bad.
It’s a pine faced engineered board that I sanded the original lacquer finish off I did it the weekend Wills snd Kate were married and finished it with white osmo. In the intervening years it has been mopped and scrubbed so much that it is now just bare wood.
When my current program of renovations is complete (🤣) I’m planning on finishing it with lye and scandi mopped on soap finish.
