When working with a soft wood is it always a good idea to ease the

I'm always worried that sharp corners will bruise, dent, splinter more
easily than rounded (even if only slightly) corners. I doubt you can
apply enough coats of poly to make any difference. But sometimes I'd
like a sharp corner for the looks alone.

for crisp corners that will look good down the road a bit use
something harder. of light colored woods, hard maple looks nice with
crisp corners....
