You might think I am weird but

I love to sand!

I like the feel of the wood when it goes from rough 80 or 150 grit on the way to 800 to 1000 grit.
After each grit I feel how soft the wood its. I always put a little water on every object I turn to raise any fibers and then I continue sanding.

Lately or the last 6 months I put on Deft exterior oil with UV inhibitors let it dry and then I seal all of my turnings with Shellac of whatever color I think looks best for the wood. I then either leave it or put on WIP.

I don't mind sanding either....unless it's drywall sanding. I hate that.

I'm too picky when it comes to sanding wood. I like to get everything as smooth as possible.
If my fingers squeak when I rub em on the wood, that usually is a good sign I got it smooth.
