Hi,
I have a "newbie" question. I go through a 1000 sheets of plywood a year, but am just getting into real "woodworking" if you know what I mean!
I made 3 cutting boards (first time) during the past week. I used Titebond III glue. Two were made with the grain long ways and the third was made with the end grain up. They were made with various hardwoods, mostly hard maple, and sanded down to 400 grit. They were smooth as glass. On each one though, from several hours to overnight, I could once again feel the joint where the pieces of wood meet. A quick once over with 400 grit and they were smooth, but the next day I could feel the joints again. I used a simple "salad bowl" finish from Woodcraft. After doing this two or three times, they stayed smooth. What is causing this? Am I doing something wrong? I have a guess, but I already feel foolish asking!
Thank in advance!
Robert
