I am making coasters for a second project as a very novice woodworker. Made them and now comes the finishing. Again I am sure this is another learning curve but here are my grips.
I believe I used Babinga and oak as my wood. I have general finish high performance top coat in semi gloss. Read the instruction after one coat, then lightly sanded with 320 and put another coat on. dried and repeated. I noticed that the finish just doesn't look very nice in my opinion. I see tiny air bubbles. is this the wrong finish perhaps on this type of wood? I used the cheap foam brushes. The photos dont really show what I mean exactly so I can always take more if people request this.
