Not entirely sure how it works now but one of my brothers was in the guild of master craftsmen, he told me that most important requirement to gain entry was that the cheque cleared and he said the customers he got through them were a pain in the arse so he never bothered again.
On the one hand, this story checks out. But on the other, said house mate was from Yorkshire - so I dunno

Oh and this is how far mine has come along, so far I've removed one bit of wood off the arm and gave it a coat of "Lookinat"

That looks bang on, Skub. Well done you for seeing it through to conclusion. Looks proper.
I was impressed with how green your garden looks, then I remembered...

Iroko, like teak, loses it's colour over time and goes a sort of grey colour, almost like an oxidisation process. Sanding removes that 'patina' and the oil enhances the colour.
Redwood turns gray, spraying it with dilute bleach brings the red back. Then ya just hose it off.
