Does anyone know an easy way to remove pencil marks off wood before finishing?
Welcome Aboard!I'm Danny and new to this forum. I have recently designed and made a sofa, chair, two end tables, a coffee table and two lamps. All the pieces are made from oak lumber. Now I'm ready for staining the various pieces. What I would like to know is this: Have any one of you tried to fill in the grain on oak so as to attain a piano finish? I also want to know if applying the sealer first and then the stain would help. Hurry, I need to know.
If you want oak to look like cherry or walnut.... then you'll need to just use cherry or walnut. Oak is oak, and the large open grain is what makes it what it is. You'll be hard pressed to get oak to even sand out to a noticable difference after about 180 grit.I'm Danny and new to this forum.

Why not using chalk instead... then just rub it off? :yes::yes:Does anyone know an easy way to remove pencil marks off wood before finishing?
