I clean up with an angle grinder too, but I use a worn down wheel, so that it burnishes and sands the wood simultaniously. Another "airbrush technique" I use when I don't want to get out my compressor, I use a small spray bottle with some dark colored stain, or watered down acrylic paint. I use the dremmel too, for carving the small detail, but not cleanup. and a lifelike carving of Crazy Al too!
