Here is my first attempt at a deep hollowed box. In walnut it is 3 1/4" in diameter and 6 1/4" tall. The bottom section is 4 3/8" tall and the inside is 2 7/8" diameter and 4 1/8" deep. I cut the inside with a gouge and then finished with a square scraper and therein lies my problem. No matter how careful or gentle I was, I was unable to get perfectly smooth cuts in the square bottom.
My fingers are not long enough to sand the bottom and I have the cuts, scrapes and blisters to prove it. I was able to use a sanding stick to sand the sides but could not figure out a way to sand the bottom. Any help?
