Practice on off-cuts first - a good, stiff wire brush (ideally one you can hold well with two hands) along the grain removes softer material and brings up the grain. You can also sort of burnish that softer wood down - I've used the ball-pien side of a big old hammer - sliding it along the grain it'll track along between the harder grains and raise them up. Both pretty tedious though.Sand-blasting works if you've anywhere local that does it]]> Chat Forum maccruiskeen https://singletrackworld.com/forum/off-topic/which-finish-for-red-pine/#post-10379558 https://singletrackworld.com/forum/off-topic/which-finish-for-red-pine/#post-10379548 Sun, 09 Dec 2018 09:47:29 +0000 Chat Forum charlielightamatch https://singletrackworld.com/forum/off-topic/which-finish-for-red-pine/#post-10379548 https://singletrackworld.com/forum/off-topic/which-finish-for-red-pine/#post-10379489 Sun, 09 Dec 2018 08:55:44 +0000 Chat Forum BillMC https://singletrackworld.com/forum/off-topic/which-finish-for-red-pine/#post-10379489 https://singletrackworld.com/forum/off-topic/which-finish-for-red-pine/#post-10379358 Sat, 08 Dec 2018 23:12:25 +0000 Chat Forum pandhandj https://singletrackworld.com/forum/off-topic/which-finish-for-red-pine/#post-10379358 https://singletrackworld.com/forum/off-topic/which-finish-for-red-pine/#post-10379353 Sat, 08 Dec 2018 23:09:23 +0000 Chat Forum kayak23 https://singletrackworld.com/forum/off-topic/which-finish-for-red-pine/#post-10379353 https://singletrackworld.com/forum/off-topic/which-finish-for-red-pine/#post-10379329 Sat, 08 Dec 2018 22:35:23 +0000 Chat Forum goldfish24 https://singletrackworld.com/forum/off-topic/which-finish-for-red-pine/#post-10379329 https://singletrackworld.com/forum/off-topic/which-finish-for-red-pine/#post-10379260 Sat, 08 Dec 2018 21:44:12 +0000 readily with the stink-wash ]]> Chat Forum maccruiskeen https://singletrackworld.com/forum/off-topic/which-finish-for-red-pine/#post-10379260 https://singletrackworld.com/forum/off-topic/which-finish-for-red-pine/#post-10379253 Sat, 08 Dec 2018 21:37:08 +0000 Chat Forum fongsaiyuk https://singletrackworld.com/forum/off-topic/which-finish-for-red-pine/#post-10379253 https://singletrackworld.com/forum/off-topic/which-finish-for-red-pine/#post-10379199 Sat, 08 Dec 2018 20:50:56 +0000 Chat Forum pandhandj https://singletrackworld.com/forum/off-topic/which-finish-for-red-pine/#post-10379199
