Different types of wood finishes exist \u2013 varnish, wax, French polish, and Lacquer, to name a few. You can\u2019t apply these finishes to your wood if it isn\u2019t smooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, how you smooth your wood will affect what type of finish you can apply. There are different ways to smooth wood; depending on your project, you must use the right one.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"601\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/1-15.jpg\" alt=\"textured wood\" class=\"wp-image-9972\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/1-15.jpg 601w, https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/1-15-180x300.jpg 180w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 601px) 100vw, 601px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\uff08textured wood\uff09<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ways-to-make-wood-smooth\">Ways To Make Wood Smooth<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Here are some of the most common and best ways to make wood smooth:<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"sanding-wood\">Sanding Wood<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Sanding refers to smoothening wood using sandpaper. The sandpaper rubs against the rough wood surface, eliminating chips, grains, and splinters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sanding wood is the most common way to make wood smooth. Aside from smoothing, sanding is also helpful for shaping wood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can sand the wood with your hands or use a power tool, like a random-orbit sander. You only need to rub the sandpaper on the rough wood surfaces carefully with your hands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The disadvantage is that you may get quickly tired, especially if you have many logs to smooth. So, using a random-orbit sander will be easier and faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2-15.jpg\" alt=\"Sanding Wood\" class=\"wp-image-9971\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2-15.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2-15-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2-15-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>\uff08Sanding Wood\uff09<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"scraping-wood\">Scraping Wood<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Scraping wood involves using a scraper tool. The scraper tool is like a blade; it tears through wood fibers easily. It\u2019s a more aggressive method of making wood smooth than sanding, and some people mistakenly interchange both methods.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scraping is preferable when smoothing <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hardwood\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">hardwoods<\/a>. On the other hand, it may be too aggressive on softwood. So, instead of a smooth surface, you get a rough one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hence, limiting this method to smoothing hardwood will be safe. After scraping, it\u2019s not a bad idea to still sand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/3-17.jpg\" alt=\"hardwoods\" class=\"wp-image-9970\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/3-17.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/3-17-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/3-17-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\uff08hardwoods\uff09<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"planing-wood\">Planing Wood<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Wood planers are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/basic-woodworking-tools.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">popular woodworking tools<\/a>. When it comes to smoothing, they are indispensable. Planing smoothens wood by shaving out thin strips. The result is an even, spotless surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can plane wood using a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=W8-_9ziKiao\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">planing machine<\/a> or a hand planer. However, the latter is more common and easier. Hand planers are also of different times \u2013 jointer, jack, smoothing, and block planers. Consequently, you\u2019ll need a smoothing planer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before planning, ensure the planer blade is smooth and set at the right angle. The angle will determine how thick or thin the planed strips will be. A shallow angle is always the best way to start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/4-12.jpg\" alt=\"Wood planers \" class=\"wp-image-9969\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/4-12.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/4-12-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/4-12-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\uff08Wood planers \uff09<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"finishing-wood\">Finishing Wood<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>As mentioned earlier, the wood needs to be smooth before applying a finish. The finish will only ensure that the final work remains smooth. Depending on your finish type, you may need to apply multiple layers. Sanding after applying each layer will help make the finish smoother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/5-12.jpg\" alt=\"treated wood\" class=\"wp-image-9968\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/5-12.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/5-12-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/5-12-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\uff08treated wood\uff09<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-smooth-wood-without-sandpaper\">How to Smooth Wood Without Sandpaper\uff1f<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Smoothing wood almost always involves using sandpaper. However, this doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t smooth wood without sandpaper. You can use any of the below methods:<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"sand-to-smooth-wood\">Sand to Smooth Wood<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>You can sprinkle some sand on a wood surface to smoothen it. It\u2019s like using sandpaper without paper. You\u2019ll only need a piece of leather or cloth to rub the sand on the wood. It\u2019s simple and fast but will not work for some wood types, especially hardwoods.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"745\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/6-12.jpg\" alt=\"Picture of sand\" class=\"wp-image-9967\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/6-12.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/6-12-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/6-12-768x572.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"> (Picture of sand)<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"walnut-shells-to-smooth-wood\">Walnut Shells to Smooth Wood<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Using walnut shells is similar to using sand to smooth wood. However, it gives a smoother result since the shells are stronger than sand. In addition to smoothing, the walnut shells will also polish the wood. The downside with this method is that there may be too many shells to clean up when you finish.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/7-11.jpg\" alt=\"Walnut shell picture\" class=\"wp-image-9966\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/7-11.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/7-11-300x192.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/7-11-768x492.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">(Walnut shell picture)<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"corn-cubs-to-smooth-wood\">Corn Cubs to Smooth Wood<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s another method similar to smoothing with sand and walnut shells. It\u2019s more similar to using walnut shells, as it also polishes the wood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/8-10.jpg\" alt=\"Corn Cubs\" class=\"wp-image-9965\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/8-10.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/8-10-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/8-10-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"> (Corn Cubs)<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"pumice-to-smooth-wood\">Pumice to Smooth Wood<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Without sandpaper, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pumice\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">pumice<\/a> will do an excellent job. It\u2019s a rough, porous, and somewhat expensive volcanic rock but is more reliable than the earlier methods.
