@EvilGenius good luck with your first build, enjoy it, and be mindful that it’s addictive.
As Barney suggested, Ash needs grain filler or you will never achieve a flat (shiny) finish. Then sand. I go 240, 320, 600, 1200 grit (higher grits don’t make a niticeable difference).

Thank you, Jonathan Haynes. I appreciate it. Could you please recommend some grain filler? I’m going all the way to 3000 grit.

Sorry for the late reply. BassBuzz wouldn’t let me send any replies. Because, I have sent so many replies the first time.

Yes it is… That is how learned how to solder. Everything they said not to do. Is exactly everything I was doing. I will definitely check him out. I’m using oil based stain. Would mineral oil Spirits work for that?

It definitely looks a lot better with the wood grain showing.
