First Woodworking Attempt - Advice Please
delabodge replied to Si Stevenson's topic in Woodcraft Forum
hi mate, sanding is key, depending on your milling finnish, dont jump too many grits,as each one, eradicates the marks from the previous, I usually sand up too 400 grit, then apply a cuprinol woodworm killer, this serves two purposes, a/ obviously kills and prevents nasties b/ raises the grain,,,too many people sand too a lovely finnish then oil,varnish, ths raises the grain and doesnt give the ultimate finnish,, if you dont need to cuprinol it, you`ll get the same effect rubbing it over with a wet rag, i tend to dictate what finnish I finnally give it depending on its use! coffee table would be oil finnish, picnic table , yatch varnish/linseed oil/white spirit,,,,,mix etc,,,, I`m forunate to have a 24 inch planer so now cut out endless sanding,,,,good luck,,,, -
