I have found that scraping red oak leads to a smooth, but undulating

If you scrape, you're going to want to change angles over the same
area. The rays on the oak are pretty hard, and you tend to ride up on
them, giving an undulating surface.


What George said. And how George fixes it. Just something to which one
must pay attention.
