staining/oiling, solid wood worktop/desk tops help/

[GSXR Gaz Mc]

right peeps. im seeking advice and pics of your solid desktops with what finish and colour you used

like many on here i changed to the ikea alex cupboard and draws with ikea gerton solid wood top and i oiled it with ikeas behandla wood oil, now while this was good enough i was never keen on the colour and wanted something a bit darker...

so i sanded my top and i also cut a bit off the back to bring my monitor a bit closure and to stop me from slumping forward in my chair

i bought some liberon wax polish black bison in medium oak (smells lovely)

but its still not the right finish i want...

so please post your pics and what u used/did with ya tops

and ill post some of mine below

cheerz

so here is the original from when i first did it


the sanding


ideally i would like it to match my floor above

now waxed and shortened width and used the cut off as a lip at the back


and yes my pc ended up on the coffee table while i was doin this

and the finished product inc new rig


put some ikea led strips and a cable tray underneath to finish it off


i do so like the lip at the back..just finishes it off and tidys it up
