Cherry Finish For Poplar - Part 6

Finished stripping the base, now I've washed the entire table down with mineral spirits to remove any lingering stripper. So all that's left to do is SAND.

Here is a pic of a little dent I had, here's how to remove it?










My sanding schedule was first 150 and finishing with 180. End-grain was taken care of by sanding with 320 then finishing with 600. That polishes the end-grain and limits the amount of stain absorbed.
