What I've done for spoons that I picked up from watching canoe paddles made is to use a grit, then run a damp cloth going downhill with the grain to take dust out of the pores and raise the fibers, then use a finer grit, repeat till you're happy or tired.
Thanks for the videos! You have convinced me to try inlay again. I failed about 35 years ago trying it on a muzzleloader gunstock. I saw Joe Keeslar's demo at the hammer in this past weekend and have his video as well. I will work on getting my tools made and a bowling ball vise set up. Thanks again Chad.
