I bought a beautiful maple slap 8"x11"x1.75". It had a couple epoxied holes but, I cut an almost 8" circle. It cut beautifully but, has some difficult grains to finish.
I first put sanding sealer on it and was shocked with the streaks. I pretty much stripped that and tried a friction finish. Drastic streaks.
Now, I've not sure if I should just leave as is or is there something that I should try.
1st shows sanding sealer. 2nd friction finish (BLO, Shellac, & DNA). 3rd is back and filled area.
BTW, those are not tares where it "may " look like it. Very smooth finish at 400.
Appreciate any tips for this or the next one I come across.
