Sanding Block

Using it well

• Wrap the paper tight and clamp the ends so it does not pull loose mid-stroke.
• Sand with the grain on flat faces, and use a block rather than fingers to keep edges crisp.
• Between finish coats, sand very lightly with 320 or higher just to knock back dust nibs.

Reference sample in 3D

The model above is a real pine reference block rendered in the browser. It is simulated from a height field rather than photographed, so you can rotate it to see how light behaves across the grain, the end grain and the edges. Drag it, or use the view buttons to look at the top face or the end grain in isolation.
