Most of this sort of wood relies on being treateed regularly though, in my
experience or it kind of warps and splits.
Yes I do not see why anyone would suddenly start to reply to such an old
thread. Its that stupid web site protal again which has a massive problem
with dredging up old rubbish for no apparent reason.

Hi Andy, Thanks for your post! What number grit is good for a table top
giving
slivers? TY

You are replying to a 12 year old question! Not seen Andy in this group
for some years so you are unlikely to get a response from him directly
here.

For any timber like this where it may have been outside and exposed to
rain etc, I would give it a sand at 80 grit, then 120, then 180. (you
could go to 240 if you want, but it might be excessive for garden stuff)
