After I have sanded the inside of a bowl I seem to have a build up of saw dust that doesn't want to come off. Can someone tell me what causes this and how to rectify it thanks Jeff
Since you are sanding the inside of a bowl, do you think you are feeling end grain that needs to be stiffened? It can feel like roughage sometimes. If it is end grain, try sanding with wax on the sand paper. This stiffens the endgrain and also minimizes loose sanding dust.
Actually, I use a mixture of mineral oil and clear beeswax.
Just a thought.............

I second that, Gordon. It really does cut down on the sanding dust. One of the guys at our local Woodcraft showed me that trick & gave me a little jar of his mixture.
