I’m trying to decide on a minimalist approach to preparing hardwood projects for finishing with danish oil or OSMO. Do you think that sanding with 120 and 240 grit aluminium oxide paper for surface prep followed by a quick rub down with a 3M Scotch-Bright 7447 pad before and between coats of finish would suffice? I’m looking for the best finish possible.
My surfaces are hand planed to a pretty smooth finish first. Perhaps getting a set of cabinet scrapers would be worth considering? Should I get any other grit sizes, or perhaps in sheets instead of rolls.
Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated. What are your routines for fine woodworking projects?
