@shanty2chic: However the wood looks before paint is exactly how it will look after — just more noticeable. That’s why I always take the time to sand framing lumber down before finishing. It makes such a difference. Used the @Kreg Tool Ionic Drive™ 5" Random Orbit Sander on this outdoor coffee table and worked up through the grits for a smooth, furniture-quality finish. I like being able to adjust the speed depending on what I’m sanding, and the dust port helps keep things cleaner while working.
