The chair is painted and then lightly sanded, using
flexible sandpaper to achieve a smooth finish all around.
The entire table was then lightly sanded to a super smooth finish using this awesome sandpaper that a friend of mine turned me on to, it's a rubber based,
flexible sandpaper that doesn't fall apart and rises off when done.
And, I didn't know about
the flexible sandpaper, I'm going to have to try that.
The flexible sandpaper works especially well with all the curves of the chair.
So I gently distressed using
my flexible sandpaper wrapped around a sanding block.
