It’s a bookcase in plainsawn red oak, designed to match the built-in bookcases in the arts and crafts style house I live in. The finish matches well on color; it’s General Finishes java gel stain. Only major problem was that I sanded to 220 – probably too far – before staining, which made it somewhat blotchy on the sides of the case. Pretty happy with this one, as it’s a good fit for the room.

Why does sanding to 220 make it blotchy? I often sand to 220… sometimes to 320. Only because if 180 is good, then 220 or 320 is better. Just asking to understand finishing a little more…
