Finishing maple dowels
Hi All,
I built a clothes dryer for my wife, (you know the kind that folds up and drops to the floor when you put wet clothes on them) and I am having a hell of a time trying to get the dowels smooth. I haven't used any kind of finish on the wood as I don't want any transfer of colour or finish to transfer to the wet clothes. The dowels are the typical maple ones you can buy at The Home Depot and I have sanded and sanded but as soon as they get wet it raises the grain and I have to start all over again. Any ideas before I turn this project over to the end user? (Who will probably scream the first time she snags her nylons on a rogue wood fibre) Thanks, John |
