I have some clear S4S maple on order that I'm going to use to build shelves above my wet bar. I'm not a great carpenter, so this may take a few tries to get what I want. Any test pieces that dont meet my standards will be relegated to my basement...it could use some more shelving.
Check my plan for sanding and staining.
I have a vague recollection that S4S is usually planed to around 120 grit, so I think I should sand it with 180 grit, stain it, sand it with 220 grit, then stain it again, then put a coat of poly on it.
Is that correct?
