Something that is interesting......some have mention going up very high
with the sanding on the end grains. I need some more specifics....;

Are you guys suggesting like going to 220/320g or even higher?
400/600g?


What you're doing is heating, stuffing small dust in, and allowing the
contracting that goes with the heat and overdrying to close the wood
vessels. Their job, prior to your murdering them to glorify your living
space, was to conduct liquid over distance. Unless you find a way of
putting a finger in the dam, they will.

That's why stuffing with resin - sealers - works.
