Round one-rough sanding
Round two-fine sanding
Note for fine sanding, don't use anything to wipe the dust off, use compressed air. Leaves fine scratches.
Round three-stain first coat
I don't know how that's going to come out. The grains may not be worth enhancing or whether I should sand again but there it is.
By the way, the instructions says to let it soak for 5-15 minutes but I wiped it dry after two minutes. The wood was really soaking it up.
Round four-rough sanding
Ran out of sandpaper.
