Hi, looking for some advice please. How do you finish end grain on boards etc if you are making a table top for instance. When you buy a piece of wooden furniture and it is polished or stained the end grain is usually as smooth as the side or the top.
Is there a special proceedure for this as I have sanded until I am blue in the face but never seem to get it really smooth. Also when you stain end grain it always goes darker than the rest of the wood. Is there a way to stop this?
I am fairly new to woodworking and could really do with some help.
Thanks,
Peter
