help on sanding and finishing a red iron bark railway sleeper
Hi All,
this is my first visit and post on this site. glad to know how this community helps one another. I'd greatly appreciate some help on what I'm doing currently. i've bought a red iron bark railway sleeper that I'll be using as a ledge on my stone fireplace. two qns I have are:
1) The sleeper is terribly rough on the sides and top. what's the best process and tool to accomplish results? I've got a festool rotex 150. Should I be using a belt sander or planer as well?
2) what's the best finishing to use e.g. tung oil, danish oil, feast watson's polyurethane etc?
Thanks in advance for the advice!
