I finished my daughters bookcase yesterday. It was made from 3/4" birch ply with a 3/4" pine face frame, edgebanding and moulding. I'm starting tomorrow.....any suggestions on the staining process before I begin?

After sanding, you can wipe it with spirits, and you can see what the wood will look like once the (oil based) finish is on. You can also see right away if glue has seeped out on the wood. Recently I bought some pine veneered door jambs, and when I started staining them, the manufacturer had allowed glue to seep out and be wiped on the face. It was too thin to re-sand, and looked terrible. Ugh!
Birch ply and pine can also be a little splotchy when stained, so it helps to use Minwax Wood Conditioner or Zinsser Seal Coat.
Nice book shelf!
Thanks Rick you've been a big help. I really appreciate this.
Thanks Sean this sounds like good advice. I'll let you know how it comes out.

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.
I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.
First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…
