Finishing my stair treads and risers with clear polyurethane. I sanded

not.

Yes, until the thickness of the finish equals the width of the grain
holes you are going to feel the holes.

If the finish is simply rough, wrap a piece of paper around a block of
wood and tub over the surface, it should smooth the surface significantly.







Interesting. I'll try that. Thank you
