Thanks to this forum I was able to identify the type of wood I was dealing with on my 1950's headboard/footboard.
It's been positively identified as Ash.
My question is that I'm getting different advice for the finishing process and was hoping for some help... I have started the sanding process with my orbital sander and 150 paper and wanted to ask if sanding sealer was necessary before moving on to 220?
Also, I have been cleaning dust with pressured air, but was told that afterwards I should be wiping the wood down with laquer and paint thinner. Is this true?
Thanks in advance.
