I built my house 15 years ago. I have a 35 foot front porch that I build the rail system using Philippine Mahogany, pocket screw and Gorilla glue joinery. It is solid! The spindles are square cut and straight and the top cap is easily sanded. Love it. I originally had used Australian Oil but subsequently went with Helmsman urethane. I have a mahogany door that I also have Helmsman on. I kept up with the door and it's a ok. I am guilty of not taking care of the rail system and now have to sand it down and re-apply Helmsman.
My question is....what is the best way to sand the spindles? Is there a power tool that can make easy(ier) work of this? Time is really precious. I'd like to be able to do it myself and but if hand sanding is the only option...ugh. Looking for suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
