ok. i have some prototypes that chris and i turned out this weekend. we sealed them with boiled linseed oil, primered them, and attempted a few paintings for fun before the first test swimmimg run. the problem we ran into was that after the primer coat was applied, the blanks looked "hairy" and the grain of the wood stood out like a soar thumb! is this a product of the wood used (hardwood dowels), or is it a result of the sanding? thanks.
