Sanding and Finishing the Wine Rack

Sanding the wine rack(c) 2006 Chris Baylor licensed to About.com, Inc.
Now that the woodworking is completed, we move on to sanding and the finish.

Sand each of the four pieces of the modular wine rack using progressively finer sandpaper. Finish with a hand sanding for a perfect final touch.

Next, clean all of the sawdust off of the pieces and wipe it thoroughly with a tack cloth. Then, apply the paint or stain of your choice. If you are staining softwoods, you may want to apply a pre-stain wood conditioner to help even out the stain. Then, after staining, apply a few coats of polyurethane to protect the wood.
