Sanding the climbing brushes takes a long time and it’s a dusty job. Once I’ve prepped the blanks and rough cut the shape I first have to shape them on the belt sander before the fine sanding starts. Two passes with the orbital sander then a final hand sand before the finish is applied and they are ready for filling.
I’m about half way through sorting this batch and my arms are killing. Lots of new woods in this lot. Maple, ash, Thermo ash, walnut, lacewood, paduk beech, oak, sapele. 🤙
