Usually the swirls happen with an 80 grit or 120 grit. You will have to remove them by sanding with the grain using your hand, using 120 and then 180... even 220 or 240 grit for a smooth scratch swirly free wood result

Good points Ladioz. Something else to keep in mind is that putting downward pressure as well as too quick movements will give lots of swirl marks. Allow the sander to do its job with light downward and using slow consistent travel with the sander will make a much better surface with less hand sanding. It takes a bit longer this way but will require less time hand sanding.

For the folks dealing with swirling, in the two years since this was released (and brilliantly finished,) 3M has come out with mesh sandpaper and their extract system. I’ve been able to sand soft wood avoiding swirls using this system because it keeps the sanding surface almost completely free of material. It’s also been really easy on my lungs and sinuses too… probably a 90% reduction over normal sanders.

I am almost sure that the sticky yellow stuff on the side of the table top is sap and not oil. We (Swedes) have to shellac all the “where the. Branches are cut off”, because it will never stop bleeding through the paint if you don’t have shellac. Another question I would like to discuss with you. As you know us Swedes have mainly pine, spruce and birch growing everywhere, which might make us a little kind to them? Or used to them? If I had had the table you put so much work into I would not stain it darker. I would seal the knots (?) with shellac and put a clear lacquer with “anti-yellowing “ in it. There are so many other treatments for these kind of trees, and it hurts me a little when I hear that they are soft, have many knots, take up stain unevenly, turn yellow-orange and are blotchy. Please be a little kinder to our trees and thereby with me, because you are one of my top3 on KZitem. I love your skills, your knowledge and your teaching skills! 🙏

Hi I have a pine kitchen table that I’m refinishing and it’s my first ever project so I’m hoping to get some tips on finishing the table. After watching your video I believe my table was originally stained and lacquered. The old table finish looks much like your final product. The lacquer or varnish or whatever was used to coat the surface was gunking up and tacky to the touch so it definitely needed to go. I just finished sanding my table. I did it up to 120 by orbital and 220 by hand, I hope by hand finishing I got all of the swirls out. As you mentioned, and as I have read on many sites, pine is very soft so it stains unevenly. I’m unsure if I should stain the table, as I’m new to woodworking and I’m unsure if I can get it to look like the original coloration. I think an easier approach would be a natural finish. I understand there are many ways to finish a woodworking project but I don’t know which is best for what situation. I’ve read conflicting info on using oil based finishes, wax finishes, polyurethane, and lacquering. I see a lacquer finish gives a glossy look. I ended up buying a water based polyurethane but I haven’t applied it yet because I’m trying to find out the best method for finishing the table. Is a poly appropriate for a pine kitchen table? Should I do both poly and lacquer to get a glossy look? I’m really just unsure of which finish or combination of finishes is best. Whatever I go with, I just need it to be durable and probably food safe too in case I make something like a dough on the table surface. Appreciate the help and advice and great video!

This was a huge help- I’m refinishing my first ever furniture piece and it’s a pine table similar to this. I have a couple of questions: 1. I’ve read online that oil blooms can come through the wood and through the stain. Do you do anything to prevent this? I know for beneath paint, to use a shellac sealant. But I wasn’t sure if there’s any product to use beneath stain for the same purpose 2. When you come a cross scuffs or rough marks that need further sanding while staining, do you let the stain dry then resand that area then clean then restain? Or what profess do you use to address the areas that need more sanding post stain? Thanks so much in advance!

Hello, to the most lovely "John" I have ever seen. I have just discovered your channel and I love it. I have a problem though. I recently bought at auction a cabinet I could only see in a low-resolution photograph. It has many problems that were undetectable in the photo. One of these problems is that it was fitted with a cabinet lock by some ham-handed handyman. The hole was too large for the lock and extended through some of the door trim. It's terrible. I have decided to plug the hole with a face oak plug of red oak that will match the grain of the door as closely as possible but I'm wondering how to best disguise the transition from the wood in the door to the wood of the plug. I'm using a trim router to cut it off flush but I predict that there will be something of a line between the two. I've noticed that you disguise the transition from old to newly repaired veneer seamlessly. I would very much like for you to direct me to your best video on how you make these seamless transitions. Love your work!
