FWIW, I never said your method wouldn't or doesn't work. And this ain't my first rodeo either.
You might want to re-read my previous post. I wasn't trying to be critical about what you said. My points were more about wet sanding with water between coats, which I do disagree with.
Considering what stage the project is now, your method is sound advice. As a matter of fact I paralleled our methods of sanding with Tru Oil with the exception when. I do mine earlier as a method of grain filling, you do it later. Different paths to the same destination.
Lastly, to quote Graham from an exchange I had with him earlier in this thread regarding grain filling: (page 3, post #24)
Thank you for the info and advice. I'm not too worried about a super glossy result. For the 1st build I'm keeping things as simple as possible.
Cheers,
Graham
