Sorry to see that after all that work. Chalk it up to more lessons and cover that one Spot!. Just a note to add to the sanding thingy. Same as sharpening cuisels, if you move on to the higher grits before the tool is sharp enough, all you will be doing is Polishing a dull tool, or in the case of sanding, you will be polishing those scratches. I think we ALL have done it. How many times have any of you finished a piece and put the first coat of varnish or whatever on and had those ugly scratches show up like a sore thumb. On to the Next bat before you go Batty. I was very familiar with that Bamboo piece, my pleasure!.
