We went with the grain of the large part which went against the grain of those cross beams. So the last step is going to be to tape off and then sand horizontally just those beams. Then oil or something. The underneath areas are downright glossy. Have to bridge the gap a bit
Dis is de way. If you would have used power tools you would have had a lot more issues. Do many 7+ coats of a spray on oil based poly. Lots of thin coats are better than a few thick. Sand it lightly between coats with something really fine if you have it. Knock down the mountains, fill in the valleys.
