Black trim is done and now I am clearing the cabinet. I am very unhappy with the finish thus far. With 3 coats of grain filler and much sanding The finish will not flatten! There are Itsy bitsey waves in it, They were there originally but I thought I could take care of them. It is like the wood was wet at some point and raised in places. I don't like this rosewood...

Anyway, I am heavy coating the cabinet and hopefully this will help the imperfections.
