So after 5 hours of hand sanding plus the 2 1/2 hours on the belt sander rough shaping the riser.
It's time to sand in the first coat of finish and to bring out the true color of the Tigerwood.




I also have the first coat on the limbs.
Tomorrow morning I will wet sand the riser and apply the second coat, I will be wet sanding it between coats till I have 8 or 9 coats on her.
