2/5 The bowl was sanded inside and out from 60 to 120 grit before the sealer. Now I'll sand at 220, 320, 400, 600, 800, 1000, and 1500. Sanding is by hand with the bowl rotating slowly (250rpm). Between each grit, the rotation direction is changed. At 400 grit and above, the bowl is cleaned with denatured alcohol because at that point the sawdust from a lower grit can scratch the surface. This is the first time we get an idea of what the finished bowl will look like.
