Step 7Apply Finish

Apply Finish
Next you'll want to sand all of your wood pieces, starting at about 100 grit to remove machining marks, then to 220 and finally 320 before the first coat of finish. Brush off the dust, and wipe down with tack cloth to prep the surface. 

Suspend all of your pieces for finishing, and apply finish with roller or brush. Be sure to stir your finish of choice. 

Once dry, sand with 320 grit or finer, clear off the dust, then apply a second coat. Apply as many coats as necessary, we put four coats on because the polyurethane went on a little thin.
