[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1429356, member: 2736"] This is when I use the wet or dry paper and water to Level the wood and remove imperfections. Just like on a car finish, as you sand the area removed will look mat finish and depressions , grain and defects will still be shiny and easy to see. (Use a sanding block where possible to level) when you have wet sanded the surface and see no more defects, Allow the stock to dry at least 24 hours and proceed with the tru-oil application as before until you get the desired results. (You may have to do some wet sanding in some spots before all blemishes/Defects are removed) the end results will depend on the number of coats applied. If you use the 0000 steel wool after each coat it will reduce the build up and continue the leveling process. It is a lot of work, but well worth the effort. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
