I Started with 80 grit b/c I had some scratches I wanted to get rid of,went to 120 180 220 and 300 stained it with Minwax Puritan Pine only one coat.Put about 4 coats of spray polyurethane on it let it sit for a few days and then sanded it with 400 grit.I was going to do a dark stain but that wood was beautiful and didnt want to hide it. :thumbsup:
