just got them done today in normal sunlight weather not being good

from the top the 2nd and third pic the pieces have been planed

2nd pic the 2nd and third from the right are the planed ones the other pieces are stained and have a shiney coating on them

Hmmm, see now it does look like iroko.

End grain clean cut will help.
