Kory and Jim - thanks for your suggestions and I'll do a deeper dive on both. I've been curious about Daly's Ben Matte finish which is supposed to be pretty low luster, so might give them a shot....

Kory and Jim - thanks for your suggestions and I'll do a deeper dive on both. I've been curious about Daly's Ben Matte finish which is supposed to be pretty low luster, so might give them a shot....
I'm building an open bathroom vanity out of some 4/4 maple that I've been needing to use for several years. I guess I'm not entirely sure on the look I'm going for, but it's somewhere between a...
Thanks for the tips. Rich - yes the most thorough route would be to pull all the boards down and work on them, but I just don't have the bandwidth for it. Further, the boards look like they have been...
Was hoping I might get a little advice on restoring some 50+ year-old knotty pine walls. They are the "real" tongue-and-groove kind (not paneling), and I presume the finish was the traditional amber...
Jim - I framed a 4' x 5' room inside my workshop with the idea that my DC will go in there. I just used 2x4 studs and will use Roxul Safe 'N Sound insulation in those interior walls. I have a 32"...
I just showered some of it out my hair half an hour ago. I'm using Roxul R23 in my workshop walls and R30 in the ceiling.
It's a tad more expensive than fiberglass, but I actually got a really...
Art - the shop has one door - it's a 42" steel shell with foam insulation. Sounds beefier than it is...this will likely be the biggest area of sound transmission, but at least it faces my house and...

Thank you guys for the replies and personal messages. I think I've got enough to get things rolling. I'll post some final project pictures or maybe even some progress pictures if I need additional...
Tim - thanks for the reply. Yes, the table is pretty small by most standards, but it's about as big as I can get away with in the small dining area space I have. That's the main reason for also...
I'm making a dining room table by gluing alternating strips of ash and lyptus in a butcher block style. The size of the tabletop will be about 29"W x 43"L x 1" thick. The top will probably be...
Just wanted to thank all who replied to my question.
I ended up taking a combination approach. I looked for the various 3M Scotch Brite rubbing pads that folks mentioned, and all the places I...
I'm working on a counter/table project and am down to the third and final coat of oil-based, satin-finish poly (brand Olympic). I've sanded between the coats so far, but what do I do about the...
