A walk along the riverbank gave me the best piece of driftwood I've ever found

After the big rain last Thursday, the water level dropped and left a huge, twisted root washed up near the old bridge. I spent the whole weekend sanding it smooth, and now it's the base for a new lamp. What's the best way you've found to clean really old, gritty wood without losing the shape?

The whole weekend sanding it?

You ever just get into a rhythm with it? @ruby_sanchez45, I find sanding pretty relaxing once you start. It's the part where you actually see the old surface disappear and the smooth new one come through. Sure, it takes time, but that's the whole point of a weekend project for me. It's satisfying to put in the work and get a perfect finish. I'd rather sand all weekend than deal with the mess of staining or the stress of cutting things to fit.

Sanding is the worst part of any project.
