Hello mighty wood workers
I have been wood working for about three months now. I built a pulpit out of oak and I started fine till I got to the finish part. the procedure I took was simple but I wonder what you fellow wood workers recomend.
Preparation:
1. sanding: I started with 150 ended with 220.
2. Wood fill: I used wood fill for areas that needed a touchup/fill.
3. sanding: 220-sanded one last time
4. damp cloth: I cleaned the surfaces.
(What is wood conditioner for????)
5.stain: I used a brush and seemed heavy but I thougth it looked just right.Took 3-4 days to dry.
6: protec: After a few days of drying I put on this semi-gloss polyurethane.
Minwax was the products I used.
The pulpit came out great. I wonder if I missed a step or if there is a better way. Still learning!!!!! This is not like framing. pictures coming soon!!
