I am struggling with circular sanding scratches and I am not sure if I am being too anal or if I am just not that good at pen finishing yet.
I sand my blanks with the lathe on then with the lathe off for each grit, making sure wipe the blank down with Denatured Alcohol between each grit. I have a strong LED light which sits on the head stock so I can clearly see the blank's surface.
It looks like all the circular scratches are gone until I whip out my magnifying glass.(i do this between each grit)
Should all the circular scratches be invisible under a magnifier?
I want to see some of my pens but with the circular scratches seen under the magnifying glass I am not sure if they are good enough quality to be selling.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
