Fascinating to see. Will it eventually start growing leaves?

Oh noooooo!




Well, back to pruning.

I began knocking the excess grain filler off this afternoon.  Its funny- my wife loves those rare and special "spa days"- getting "deep pore cleansings" and whatnot.  And here I am like a big jerk filling pores with reckless abandon! ;D  Why can't we all just be happy with our pores in whatever state they're in!?!?!  ???  (these are the type of deep thoughts I have whilst doing tedious labor)

Anyway- got the top, back, and sides blocked.  I'm still a bit worried about deforming the edge line in the process of sanding the contours, though.

Using the advice here, I made a styrofoam mold - pressed it into the edge to capture the shape, and then used a piece of double-sided foam sticky-tape to attach a strip of sandpaper:




How do you all handle the curved surfaces like this?  Any other recommendations?  I saw reference on Reranch to the "Durablock".  Has anyone tried those for sanding contours?  At first glance, it doesn't seem like that would put me any further ahead...

I just usually go to a finer grit of paper and sand carefully - I actually just screw more stuff up trying to be clever :-[

I'm using 220 for the block sanding - when you say finer, would you recommend 320? or finer than that?

Thanks for all the help!
