I enjoy making spoons of unique designs out of hardwoods.
I use a band saw, a 1” belt grinder / sander and a dremel with a Kutzal sanding orb to make the spoon bowl.
Despite lots of hand sanding with various grades of sandpaper, my spoon bowls have uneven, small lumpy patches.
What can I do to get a very smooth finish in the bowl to match the rest of the spoon that I’m pretty satisfied with.
