tvr powerd mk1 golf

To be honest, if you are sculpturing your own dashboard I would have to suggest it is a dark hardwood.  Something like Iroco or Sapele.  Finish it off with a Danish oil to bring out the grain and it would look absolutely stunning !   Also using Danish oil will seal the wood and make it protected against the elements.

Fantastic project and something I am very jealous of.  Good luck to you and your endeavours.  Keep the piccies rolling in and thanks for sharing with us all !
