How do you sand the natural edge and uneven bowls? i am working on a peice of maple from my maple goat, its the crotch peice, the grain is amazing, but when my stepdad cut it one end is 2 1/5-3 inches the other end is 5-6 inches. i couldnt just make it even, to much wasted, so i made in an unevenn edge, but when i went to sand it on the lathe the rough edge started to get rounded over, and i took the skin off 4 knuckles on my left hand, and got 2 small, deep cuts on the skin right above the nail puching the shin back, on my other middle finger. ouch how do you sand these?
