Thanks for the answers. I failed to include certain details. I'm working with oak cabinets that were previously pickled. I am painting them black. I sanded them first, applied a latex primer, then a latex paint. I have very small bubbles in the paint, especially on the ends of each piece. I made sure they were clean before each step. I was wondering if it would be better to spray them than brush them. I have only done a small portion of the pieces and it would be easy to resand these pieces at this point. Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you.

Two things: First, you need to make sure that the wood has NO oil stains on it, and second, you need a good primer/sealer applied first!

Those are air bubbles. They are usually caused by synthetic brushes. Why don't you get a low nap roller? Roll the paint on, and then just glide a bristle brush over lightly to eliminate roller marks. Yes, sand the surface first.

It's what we call fish eyes and I agree with Mr. love as what procedure you need to take, preferably an oil primer for wood.
