I grew-up in a family of women , so I'm fairly inept with DIY stuff. But I feel it's important I do the sanding and staining of a piece of furniture I got. I'm looking at the pieces of wood, and I really don't understand what is 'with the grain' and what is 'against the grain'. I have the variable grades of sanding paper, and I know that the sanding/stain is applied 'with the grain', but I need someone to explain to me what that is....2nd grade style. A site that pictures real wood with illustrations is a plus as well...preferred really.
Ways I know I'm doing it wrong would be nice as well.
It just looks like a bunch of lines to me...
