Step 5Perform the art of tipping off

Now for the last smoothing step.

Tipping off is a dry brush method of using just the tip of your brush to do away with the last brush stroke (or finger) marks. Moving in rows with the grain, hold the brush perpendicular to the surface and barely stroke the surface of the wood.
