Pickled Wood:
The most typical woods to treat in this way, using either a pickling paste or wax, are hardwoods, since these often have the most decorative figuring. Pine is a softer wood also suitable for pickling. The most usual woods to be pickled wood include oak, ash and elm.
0 If you have stained the wooden surface to be pickled wood (see opposite), allow the stain to dry thoroughly. Open up the grain by brushing with a wire brush. This may be omitted on softwoods such as pine. Make sure that surfaces are clean and dust free before applying the wax.Make sure that the liquid does not evaporate, for this is a very thick mixture. Just before serving, blend the yoghourt into the mixture, or if preferred, the stew may be topped with the yoghourt before serving. Garnish with pickled wood cucumber or pickled wood gherkins. This is excellent served with more pickled wood gherkins or cucumber and with a crisp salad made just of lettuce and rings of green pepper (capsicum), and boiled rice or boiled noodles.
