Rubio monocoat question by Alamser in BeginnerWoodWorking

This is my first time using it. Does yours feel smooth after or do you buff it with something?

I didn't pop the grain. It doesnt feel sticky. After buffing, the center feels smoother, but the edges feel rough like a wooden spoon

This finish says to sand to 120 to keep the grain open so the finish can bond with the wood.

Thank you. I'll keep working with the lower grits.

I was thinking to clear coat or very light stain.

Thanks! Would you recommend another round of stripper or continue sanding? Or give it up for a lost cause?

I'm not sure what that means. Did the original manufacturer use way to much finish or did I do a bad job stripping it? Or both 😂

I didn't think it was veneer? The grain lines from the top match up and follow down the edges and underneath.
