Listen "Sanding Against the Grain"
Episode Synopsis
When you sand a piece of wood, you are taught to ‘sand with the grain’. If you sand across the grain, the grit of the sandpaper will leave grooves– like scratches or small cuts that are obvious in the finished project. When you sand ‘with the grain’, those scratches are less obvious, as they blend in with the natural grain of the wood. But sometimes in life, we should be actually sanding ‘against’ the grain in order to produce a beautiful and unique life. Listen in to learn more about the benefits of sanding ‘against the grain’ in your own simple life!Understanding Wood Grain Patterns: Types, Examples & Terms (duffieldtimber.com)Send us a textSupport the showThe Farm Wife (website)Let's Visit!
