Any honestly a little but of texture isnt a bad thing. Just make sure your sand paper stay clean. It sucks when the grit gets clogged with paint and your onky sanding half at once

I wouldn't go any lower than 100...I would just do 120 to be honest though...looks like most of the paint is off already, the 120 should do fine with taking off what little will be left.

if you use more than one start from lowest to highest. I'd say 120-150. If the wood is bare it's going to be very soft, so lower grits will put very noticeable scratches in it.

If you do it by hand, use a block and go with the grain, if it's a very uneven surface with bumps, ease up on pressure and do diagonal passes.

If you have air us a Dynablade da on it with 120. Are you using Tung Oil. Danish Oil? Looks sweet. And it is wood no particle board!!!!!

Oh yeah, just for times sake and quality I suggest using a d/a (d/a=dual action also known as random orbital sander) if you have an air compressor use that, otherwise they make some nice electric ones out there, but it'll be an investment for a good one. ingersoll rand makes the best d/a sander IMO. You can get a quality air IR for about $75.

Did the last coat of stripper this morning. Tried to get all the corners and cracks. Cleaned it up with mineral spirits, and that's it for today. Gonna let it dry up over night and maybe start taking all the screws off and start the sanding in the next day or two.

Looks fantastic so far, gonna look great once it's done.

Love the variations of grain on front. All was hidden under all that paint looking good!!!
