>Reclaimed? Good-looking wood for reclaimed. Your endgrain woes are like mine. Evidently what I do (and what you may also do) is "muscle in" to the wood. This "tears" the endgrain and you need to do a lot of sanding. I followed Mike Schwing's advice to me (stated a while back)

>It's reclaimed because it came from old 4x4 beams that show some evidence of being weathered and some of them have widely spaced nail holes (several feet apart) and some have tiny nails near one edge. Others look completely unused. They were originally 14' long in a covered stack on the grounds of an old furniture factory. So the wood showing in the pic required no repair and never saw the light of day before, but it was harvested a long time ago.
